Im Schmerz von gestern liegt die Kraft von heute.

Sieger machen nie zweimal denselben Fehler.

Jeder hat die Talente, die er für seinen eigenen Weg braucht.

Wichtiges bleibt, unwichtiges verschwindet.

Um an seinen eigenen Weg zu glauben, muss man nicht zuerst beweisen, dass der Weg des anderen falsch ist.

Wer hilft, dem wird immer geholfen werden.

Spreche mit deinen Lippen nie ein Ja aus, wenn dein Herz Nein sagt.

Hinter der Wiederholung unserer Erfahrungen steht nur ein einziges Ziel: uns zu lehren, was wir noch nicht begriffen haben.

Verbringe deine Tage nicht damit, eine Rolle zu spielen, die andere für dich ausgesucht haben.

The descent to Hades is the same from every place.

I've never been supercritical about my body.

42% of our management team are women. So we've reset the goal to 50% by 2017. Because that's when Westpac becomes 200 years old as an institution - the oldest bank, and indeed the oldest company in Australia. So that's a lovely point to reflect on.

To some, the '50s were a decade marked by the banal, the predictable.

Darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream.

Sadly, the only constant in my writing environment stems from some inexplicable need to listen to the news. CNN loops over and over in the background from the time I wake until the time I finally, blessedly, fall asleep.

Love to everybody who is out there progressing and taking things to the next level.

The way they taught history in schools was not appealing. They stressed wars and dates. They left the people out. I was attracted to history by the need to know about the people. In China, I went to a British school, and we just learned about kings and queens. Back in America, I had the regular social studies curriculum.

We'll love you just the way you are if you're perfect.

Growing up in Hitchin was comfortable and easy enough. My parents had some great records - and some not-so-great ones - and that's where I got introduced to Motown and the Stones and Springsteen.

Men need to feel important. They feel better when they're with younger girls or unknown girls.

If you don't talk about families, then it's easy to disembody subprime mortgages and asset securitization and unemployment rates without remembering that every one of those numbers is a million families.

I had really no sense of style. Everyone around me in my family had the sense of style - I learned as much as I possibly could.

If you feel depressed you shouldnt go out on the street because it will show on your face and youll give it to others. Misery is a communicable disease.

The fundamental difficulty in myothermic observations is the smallness of the changes involved and their rapidity.

The cliche was always that 'everybody's a critic,' but it becomes truer every day. Long before reviews appear in the traditional outlets, you can now usually discover - somewhere in the thickets of the Internet - reactions to shows from people who've seen them in previews.

I've never believed that pop music is escapist trash. There's always a darkness in it, even amidst great pop music.

God is another name for human intelligence raised above all error and imperfection, and extended to all possible truth.

Belize is still a pirate haven and is run more or less along the lines established centuries ago by the likes of Captain Morgan, Blackbeard, and Captain Barrow.

Fame can take a toll on your personal life. Half of us were in short-lived marriages or not married at all. When you are doing something you love so much that you once did for free, and then someone pays you to do it, it's like a blessing. But you have to be prepared for it.

The principle inherent in the clause that prohibits pointless infliction of excessive punishment when less severe punishment can adequately achieve the same purposes invalidates the punishment.

Life would be tragic if it weren't funny.

I am living in the world that I always dreamed of. I am still not living in a world where you can teleport matter from one place to another just by atoms. We haven't reached there yet.

Being a prime minister is a very demanding job. And as long as I have the strength, I will continue to do this and be of benefit to my country.
