Do not be wise in words - be wise in deeds.

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.

It never ceases to amaze me: we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinions than our own.

You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

The opinion of 10,000 men is of no value if none of them know anything about the subject.

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.

Whenever you are about to find fault with someone, ask yourself the following question: What fault of mine most nearly resembles the one I am about to criticize?

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.

Happiness begins with gratitude." ~ Dr. MaryAnn Diorio

The censor boards are mere redundant forces conspiring to keep the 'bold' films out of reach of the audience.

Sedentary culture is the goal of civilization. It means the end of its lifespan and brings about its corruption.

In general, you don't want to move your kids when they're teenagers. They're not going to be happy with you.

The uphill climb is slow,but the downhill road is fast.

Sometimes, you just have to take a step back and realise what's important in your life, what you can live with, and more importantly, what you can't live without.

Effective people are not problem minded; they're opportunity-minded. They feed opportunities and starve problems. They think preventively.

Everyone dies. Everyone leaves. What matters is the things you build together before they go. What matters is the part of them that continues in you when they're gone.

It's funny: I've been very successful and done a lot of films, and I don't really have an agent - I don't really pursue jobs, I let people come to me.
