Das Beste, was man tun kann, sobald man merkt, dass man über irgendetwas nachgrübeln möchte, ist stets, dass man noch mehr Gedanken darauf verschwendet, als es der Instinkt verlangt, bis schließlich die krankhafte Anziehungskraft sich selbst verzehrt hat.

Precommitment: Bezahle zuerst, konsumiere danach.

Wer frühzeitig korrigiert, hat einen Vorteil vor jenen, die lange am perfekten Setup basteln und vergebens darauf hoffen, dass ihr Plan aufgeht.

Focusing Illusion: Je stärker wir uns auf einen bestimmten Aspekt unseres Lebens konzentrieren, desto bedeutender schätzen wir den Einfluss dieses Aspekts auf unser ganzes Leben ein.

Easterling Paradox: Wenn die Grundbedürfnisse gestillt sind, führt zusätzlicher Wohlstand nicht zu zusätzlichem Glück.

Fuck-You-Money sind die Ersparnisse, die es Ihnen erlauben, Ihren Job jederzeit an den Nagel zu hängen, ohne in eine finanzielle Notsituation zu schlittern (z.B. die Ersparnis von einem Jahresgehalt).

Rechnen Sie damit, dass alles Wertvolle viel Zeit benötigt.

Möchten Sie lieber der beste Liebhaber der Welt sein, während Sie als der miserabelste gelten? Oder möchten Sie lieber der miserabelste Liebhaber sein, aber von aller Welt als der beste gelten?

Hire for attitude, train for skill.

Es ist wichtiger zu wissen, wohin wir gehen, als schnell irgendwo anzukommen.

In Selbstmitleid zu baden trägt nicht zur Überwindung des Unglücks bei.

Mache nichts für Geld, was du nicht auch für einen Zehntel des Betrags tun würdest.

Wenn Sie nach außen nicht vertreten, wovon Sie innerlich überzeugt sind, werden Sie nach und nach zur Marionette.

Der Wirkungsgrad des zweimaligen Lesens ist nicht der doppelte Wirkungsgrad, sondern viel mehr. Beispiel: 1x lesen = Behalten von 3% Inhalt; 2x lesen = Behalten von 30% Inhalt

Statt daran zu denken, was man alles noch nicht besitzt, ist es besser, sich zu überlegen, wie stark man die Dinge, die man besitzt, vermissen würde, wenn man sie nicht besäße.

Um zu wissen, was man zeichnen will, muss man anfangen zu zeichnen.

Das gute Leben finden Sie nicht durch Nachdenken.

I am proud to have played a small part in ensuring that no veteran's heroic service will be cast aside due to prejudice.

Conflict is always fun to play.

Every generation always thinks it was better before, and I think people have been saying this for probably thousands of years.

The stainless-steel frets were a major breakthrough, because of the amount of playing and bending that I do. I have to get my guitars refretted every couple of months.

To revolt is a natural tendency of life. Even a worm turns against the foot that crushes it. In general, the vitality and relative dignity of an animal can be measured by the intensity of its instinct to revolt.

I'm someone who started in the theater and really couldn't stand repeating the show. My favorite part of acting is the five or six weeks of rehearsal that you get. I like doing previews; I like the opening week because my friends and family come, and then after that, I don't want to do it anymore.

In open source, we feel strongly that to really do something well, you have to get a lot of people involved.

I have a lot of younger fans, obviously the choices I make often influence them. But having said that, it's kind of the best motivation in the world to stay positive and make good choices.

I guess it kind of stemmed from my father. He was a union guy working for the meat plant down in Kansas City. He was a union guy, and I guess it was just in my blood.

I never had ambitions to see how rich I could get. I got a lot of contemporaries that that's their ambition, and I don't know very many of them that are happy.

I really love horror novels, horror films, that are pointing at deeper ideas and thematic meaning. It's a way of thinking about films differently; that's what I think I like the most about it. I love the fact that's it's pointing at a more mysterious world - that the world is more of a mysterious place than we tend to let ourselves believe.

We aren't as divided as we think we are. We're not just Republicans sitting in one corner, and Democrats sitting in the other corner.

Awareness takes over from thinking. Instead of being in charge of your life, thinking becomes the servant of awareness.

We are fortunate to live an area that is blessed with outstanding schools and educators. We are proud of the quality of education that they provide to local students.

I was a conservative kid, but I had fun. I was in a fraternity and stuff. I wasn't a player - that's for sure.

We've always been able to bounce back.

I have two new nephews and a new niece this year, so I have plenty of kids that I can spend time with.

Dissident intellectuals aren't all beautiful.

I'm interested in morality and mortality, and 'Deadpool' kind of has all of these themes.

My mom taught me to live by the three p's: to always be passionate, persistent, and prepared.

I do not believe that the people of Ontario judge their leaders on the basis of race, sexual orientation, colour or religion. I don't believe they hold that prejudice in their hearts.

My first sex scene - and it was with myself.

I think anger is a normal response to something horrible that someone has done, another human being has done, and to rob people of life, and that's actually healthy to have, to feel that. At some point you have to figure out, 'How do I let that go?'

'One Hundred Years of Solitude' is a masterpiece because it is an episodic novel that has a rigorous form - an unprecedented combination. From the very beginning we know the town of Macondo will endure only a century, so there is a limit to the length of the narrative.
