We conquer by continuing.

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.

Rejection causes pain but like physical pain, it goes away.

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.

Where there is no vision, the people perish. Hang on to your vision.

Be like a postage stamp - stick to one thing until you get there.

Submitting to fear and avoiding rejection takes away our freedom to dream.

When we feed ourselves full of possibilities, we gain courage.

When you continue exploring your possibilities, great ideas emerge that can benefit you and others in a big way.

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.

Remember, when you go to YouTube, you do a search. When you go to Google, you do a search. As we get the search integrated between YouTube and Google, which we're working on, it will drive a lot of traffic into both places. So the trick, overall, is generating more searches, more uses of Google.

When people suffer, their relationships usually suffer as well. Period. And we all suffer because, as the Buddha says, that's the nature of being human and wanting stuff we don't always get.

Celebrity culture is something that pains me.

I don't do a lot of reflecting. I'm usually about getting on with it.

I felt like I was going crazy as a kid. I wanted to be man, get a job.

A man's name, title, and rank are artificial and impermanent; they do nothing to reveal what he really is, even to himself.

There are 3 billion women in the world, so there are 3 billion ways to be a feminist.

At the same time, I was listening to black music, and I began to think that the best musicians were receiving the worst treatment. The people who were doing the greatest work were despised as lower class, with no dignity accorded to what they did.

No man has the right to dictate what other men should perceive, create or produce, but all should be encouraged to reveal themselves, their perceptions and emotions, and to build confidence in the creative spirit.

You all know how powerful and varied are the effects of which steam engines are capable; with them has really begun the great development of industry which has characterised our century before all others.

I hope to make movies that are so small they don't need to make anything to be profitable.

I feel I'm entitled to my opinion, right or wrong.

No Western government has ever played the long-term in terms of foreign policy.

Yeah, but now suddenly - you know, universities are notoriously market oriented, too.

There's obviously a push to protect the quarterback, but you have to give the defensive players a chance. All of the quarterback has to do is pull the ball, and he's a runner. How's the defender going to know if the ball is pulled or not?

I am happy now in this moment which is all there is.

If you look to your past or even your present to see why you are here or what your purpose is, you may get stuck in a limited view of yourself. Instead, look beyond your years here on earth, reconnect with the divine, and bring forth your soul's legacy into the present moment.

The prevarication and white lies which a mind that keeps itself ambitiously pure is as uneasy under as a great artist under the false touches that no eye detects but his own, are worn as lightly as mere trimmings when once the actions have become a lie.

People will occasionally ask me if I understand what it's like to be lonely. And the truth is I don't, because for me, solitariness is a blessing, a gift. Me, I get on fine with myself.

The pure Deity is in all places and all corners, and present every where all over: the birth of the holy Trinity in one essence is every where: and the angelical world reacheth to every part, wherever you can think, even in the midst of the earth, stones, and rocks: as also hell and the kingdom of God's wrath is every where all over.

I post pictures that I want to post and say what I want to say. If that's three times a day or three times per month, then whatever.

Never eat spinach just before going on the air.

There has got to be more to life than being a really, really, ridiculously good actor.

We try more to profit from always remembering the obvious than from grasping the esoteric.
