Wer sagen will: "Ich habe endlich die Liebe meines Lebens gefunden.", darf keine Angst davor haben, allein in einem Altersheim zu enden.

Oft, wenn die Dinge ungeplant und unerwartet geschehen, sind sie am Ende angenehmer und chancenreicher.

Wir können nicht einfach die Lichter, die unseren Weg beleuchten, an uns nehmen und davontragen. Tun wir dies, tragen wir zwar viel Licht in unserem Gepäck, doch niemand wird uns auf unserem Weg folgen und Gesellschaft leisten können.

Heute ist der erste Tag vom Rest deines Lebens.

Ein einfacher Traum ist mächtiger als tausend Wirklichkeiten.

Jeder Traum braucht einen Träumer.

Der Traum ist etwas Spontanes und daher gefährlich für jene, die nicht den Mut haben zu träumen.

Wenn man anderen Menschen nicht vertraut, hat man nur eine einzige Option - jemand zu werden, der immer in der Defensive lebt, nicht liebt, keine Entscheidungen treffen kann, immer den anderen die Schuld dafür gibt, wenn etwas schief läuft.

Wer Selbstvertrauen hat, vertraut auch anderen. Weil er weiß, dass er, wenn er verraten werden sollte, selbstbewusst damit umgehen kann.

Ein Teil dessen, was das Leben lebenswert macht, ist genau das: Risiken eingehen.

Riskiere jetzt etwas, solange du gesund bist und den Mut dazu hast.

Leben bedeutet Anpassung.

I don't know any celebrated people that register in a big way who aren't unique.

In 2002, the 2000 Engelbrecht Els wine was released in South Africa and received high ratings.

Marrying Jared was the best decision I've ever made. You realize in life, not that many things matter that much, but your choice of a spouse is everything. We're truly partners - he supports my work and my ambitions. I know that he's always got my back, and I've got his.

We are partners to leading organizations across industries and have delivered marquee and transformational programs.

Every woman has, for her own self-esteem, to work or have a major interest.

But teleological considerations can lead no further than to a belief and a hope. They do not give certainty.

I love that I can demonstrate that it's OK to look and be strong.

There should be a path to earned legal status for those that are here. Not - not amnesty - earned legal status, which means you pay a fine and do many things over an extended period of time.

I've never liked watching real-life couples play couples onscreen or onstage. It takes me out of the story.

The world of fiction is a sovereign world that comes to life in the author's head and follows the rules of art, of literature. And that is the major difference that is reflected in the form of the work, in its language and its plot. An author invents every aspect of a fiction, every detail.

I think when you're in your 20s, going from adolescence to about 24, I think your life is a series of emotional storms that you have to weather.

There is nothing more provocative than minding your own business.

I learned the importance of being confident. I think that at the end of the day, it's not so much about what you look like - it's really about the way that you feel. That resonates with people.
