Cunning is the dwarf of wisdom.

The line of life is a ragged diagonal between duty and desire.

A blue eye is a true eye; Mysterious is a dark one, Which flashes like a spark sun! A black eye is the best one.

After every storm the sun will smile; for every problem there is a solution, and the soul's indefeasible duty is to be of good cheer.

Proverbs are mental gems gathered in the diamond districts of the mind.

A sigh can shatter a castle in the air.

False eloquence is exaggeration; true eloquence is emphasis.

Public opinion is a second conscience.

Reserve may be pride fortified in ice; dignity is worth reposing on truth.

Fate is the friend of the good, the guide of the wise, the tyrant of the foolish, the enemy of the bad.

What is the highest secret to victory and peace? To will what God wills, and strike a league with destiny.

You will never find peace when the need you cling to is not the want you desire. But when does a want become a need... when it is all you think about?

Dance to the music of your soul.

For me, my favorite trends of summer are lots of color, wedges, rompers and bright lipstick.

When I made 'Hard Boiled,' I had no idea that it would be released to an international audience. I just wanted to make a film to team up my two favorite actors, Tony Leung and Chow Yun-Fat.

I really love printmaking. It’s like a mystery and you’re trying to figure out how to rein it in.

I can heal a broken heart with a smile.
