Wer seinem inneren Kompass folgt, kommt auch mit geschlossenen Augen ans Ziel.

Bevor wir eine Entscheidung treffen, sollten wir in uns hineinhorchen und uns fragen “Was will ich wirklich?”.

Dinge, die rational betrachtet vielleicht vernünftig erscheinen, müssen sich noch lange nicht gut anfühlen. Aber genau darauf kommt es an.

Was würde passieren, wenn wir ganz offen über unsere Gedanken und Gefühle sprechen würden?

Wenn wir Entscheidungen treffen, die sich nicht gut anfühlen, sind diese nicht unumstößlich. Wir haben immer noch die Chance nachzujustieren.

Auf einem Zahlenstrahl von 1 bis 100 - wie wichtig ist das wirklich?

Wir denken selten an das, was wir haben, aber oft an das, was uns fehlt.

Wie oft ärgern wir uns über unwichtige Kleinigkeiten, ohne in diesen Momenten zu sehen, dass das große Ganze stimmt.

Was brauche ich wirklich?

Es ist nicht Luxus, der uns glücklich macht, sondern das Gefühl von sozialer Sicherheit. Ist eine gute finanzielle Basis vorhanden, wiegen Werte wie Liebe, Gesundheit und Selbstbestimmtheit viel mehr.

Wir haben zu viel von dem, was wir nicht brauchen und zu wenig von dem, was wirklich wichtig ist.

Würde ich so weiterleben wollen wie im Moment, wenn ich wüsste, dass ich in einem Jahr sterben muss?

Die Arbeit läuft dir nicht davon, während du deinen Kindern den Regenbogen zeigst, aber der Regenbogen wartet nicht, bis du mit der Arbeit fertig bist.

Meist ist es nicht die eine große Sache, die alles verändert, sondern die vielen kleinen Dinge. Eine positive Veränderung stößt die nächste an.

Was würdest du heute an deinem Leben ändern, wenn du wüsstest, dass du in einem Jahr sterben musst?

When you go in for any life rights, you always ask, 'Who would you have play this person, or who would you have direct?'

Disaster and chaos are always good.

'Shaka' is my catchphrase. Emeril got 'bam,' I got 'Shaka.'

I grew up thinking that it's okay to be sad, angry, and express your emotions. I have also banged doors and fought, as I have seen my mom do that when she would fight with my dad. Everything that I've learnt is from them, so I've never struggled to express myself.

Keep your best wishes, close to your heart and watch what happens.

We need a new environmental consciousness on a global basis. To do this we need to educate people.

And this administration and this House leadership have said, quote-unquote, they will stop at nothing to pass this health care bill. And now they've gotten rid of me and it will pass. You connect the dots.

Whenever you want a radical shift, it rarely happens.

If somebody actually came to me and said, 'O.K., this is it: write your last 'South Park' episodes,' I'd be like, 'No, no, no.'

People can be so neglectful of each other and of their own heritage - then death intrudes. Conversations we wish that we'd had earlier are had too late.

I sincerely believe that there's room for cutting down trees for forestry and grazing, so as we all get to eat. Everyone has to compromise.

I think I'm chronically exhausted.

To stop smoking was actually really easy because I had already started to cut down. My husband is asthmatic, and he just can't for the life of him imagine why anybody would put smoke in their mouth, so he really helped me to start cutting down.

My message to students is that if you want to become an entrepreneur and save the world, definitely don't skip college. But go to a school that you can afford. You'll be freed from the chains of debt and succeed on your own ambition and merit.

Learn from other peoples mistakes.

Trying to rebuild Afghanistan on the cheap has left the country in the hands of warlords and an impotent Northern Alliance puppet regime that runs Kabul and nothing else.

The minute those two little particles inside a woman's womb have joined together, billions of decisions have been made. A thing like that has to come from entropy.

A cynic is a man who looks at the world with a monocle in his mind's eye.

There's no damn business like show business - you have to smile to keep from throwing up.

You're going to have to surrender a little bit to the contrivance of how Freddy and Jason get together.

I entered Harvard Medical School knowing nothing of research.

I always say I should do more yoga. Or do yoga - more would mean I do some. I've done none. But I always want to do yoga because I'm getting old. Nerves are getting pinched every other day, and I really just gotta get more limber.

Even if I had nothing to do with the Canada Council, I'd be praying for it.

I like to exercise. I always walk an hour a day, I swim 250 days a year and I do balancing exercises which take me an hour.
