Fire is harmful unless it’s controlled. Then it provides warmth, enables us to cook, and sets a romantic tone when contained in a fireplace.

Your response to rejection is the same way. When your response is unbridled, it can devastate. When your response is controlled, it can be used to motivate you, stir you into action, and bring you closer to your goals.

Be careful not to compare how insecure you feel about yourself on the inside with how polished others may look on the outside.

The more perfect another person appears to be, the more likely they feel inadequate.

It ought to be with a sense of relief, not a sense of compromise and reluctance, that we come to the conclusion that we are not and never will be perfect.

Your own life is your competition.

By understanding that all rejection is beneficial, you’ll be able to open-mindedly examine each rejection rather than allowing negativity to creep in and take over.

Positive thinking people use rejection to motivate them.

Every lasting success involves overcoming rejection.

You can do amazing things if you have strong faith, deep desire, and just hang in there.

You can’t make the decision for someone else to reject you. Take the risk!

Their pride often got the best of them. Rather than face the fear of embarrassment, they would simply reject the idea.

To become 'unique,' the challenge is to fight the hardest battle which anyone can imagine until you reach your destination.

I have the greatest job in the world. Only one person can have it. You have shortstops on other teams - I'm not knocking other teams - but there's only one shortstop on the Yankees.

Pinterest has been helpful to my business. Making inspiration boards is really key to developing products. When I was getting married, I literally cut out tear sheets and put my own boards together. Had I known about Pinterest, I would have been able to do it so much more easily.

There is in every true womans heart a spark of heavenly fire which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.

The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the greatest intention.

Who is happy with his appearance? I find many drawbacks of myself. But, each time when I visit Lourdes, I receive a lesson of reconciliation. When you see ill people or invalids around, you realize that it is a sin to complain!

Life works better when we go with the flow rather than fight the current.

I like movies that resonate, that give voice to the voiceless.

'Sucker Punch' is a big girl power movie.

Some 70% to 80% of all who join the military will return to the civilian workforce. They'll return to communities, and one of the things I've worried about is the increasing disconnect between the American people and our men and women in uniform. We come from fewer and fewer places. We're less than 1% of the population.

We've always had a love for other places outside the US. I would be right with him. Now that Michael's been vindicated, we all have to be careful... you never know what someone's plotting and planning.

The half-hour of crowded anticipation, how fully it pays for the sterile hour that follows!
