Beware of people who constantly assert their integrity and honor. People of character don't have to point it out.

Don't let others define you. Don't let the past confine you. Take charge of your life with confidence and determination and there are no limits on what you can do or be.

Take pride in how far you've come. Have faith in how far you can go. But don't forget to enjoy the journey.

The key to a better life: Complain less, appreciate more. Whine less, laugh more. Talk less, listen more. Want less, give more. Hate less, love more. Scold less, praise more. Fear less, hope more.

People of character do the right thing, not because they think it will change the world but because they refuse to be changed by the world.

Pretty isn't beauty. Pretty is how you look; Beauty is who you are. Pretty is in the face and body; Beauty is in the heart, mind and soul. Pretty fades; Beauty grows.

Whether we want them or not, the New Year will bring new challenges; whether we seize them or not, the New year will bring new opportunities.

What will matter is not your success but your significance.

When someone is nasty or treats you poorly, don't take it personally. It says nothing about you, but a lot about them.

Success in anything important rarely comes without the Five Horsemen of Success: planning, effort, positivity, perseverance and resilience.

The surest way to escape anxiety and defeat despair is action. Do, don't dwell.

It was a pity thoughts always ran the easiest way, like water in old ditches.

You guys just aren’t fair, between your vampire pheromones and your gorgeous good looks, we humans just don’t stand a chance.

I think it's less common in France that a man at the age of 50 buys a Porsche and gets a young girlfriend.

I can't say why people lie; they just do. Everyone has their own reasons for not telling the truth.

Enough experience will make you wise.

Because hate's just the flip side of love. Like heads and tails on a dime. If you don't know what it feels like to love someone, how would you know what hate is? One can't exist without the other.

Sometimes I think my purpose is as a saboteur when I'm working with other people, derailing what they're trying to do or taking things to a ludicrous extremity.

The future had suddenly become unknowable: anything could happen: the train of my life had jumped the rails and headed off across the fields and coming down the lane with me, then.

In 30 years of travel and training leaders -164 nations - I've never met anyone who didn't need massive doses of love.

Ahimsa (non-killing), truthfulness, purity, mercy, and godliness are always to be kept.
