Don't duck the most difficult problems. That just ensures that the hardest part will be left when you are most tired. Get the big one done - it's downhill from then on.

Change your thoughts and you change your world.

Empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that.

People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success.

A positive thinker does not refuse to recognize the negative; he refuses to dwell on it. Positive thinking is a form of thought which habitually looks for the best results from the worst conditions

Believe you can, and you can. Belief is one of the most powerful of all problem dissolvers. When you believe that a difficulty can be overcome, you are more than halfway to victory over it already.

If you want things to be different, perhaps the answer is to become different yourself.

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.

Watch your manner of speech if you wish to develop a peaceful state of mind. Start each day by affirming peaceful, contented and happy attitudes and your days will tend to be pleasant and successful.

Our happiness depends on the habit of mind we cultivate. So practice happy thinking every day. Cultivate the merry heart, develop the happiness habit, and life will become a continual feast." ~

You have a choice everyday... You can choose every morning whether you will be depressed and miserable, or whether you will be happy.

Everything is good as it comes from the hands of the Maker of the world, but degenerates once it gets into the hands of man

I think hearts are very much like glasses - if they do not break with the first ring they usually last a considerable time.

There is a lot of strength and intelligence in Hollywood.

My dissatisfaction with television as a medium has nothing to do with the audience or the fact that you don't require as much time to do it as you do a movie, but with its technical limitations.

I’m indebted to the teachers who shaped me - from the Sisters of St. Joseph at St. Croix Catholic elementary to the monks of St. John’s in Minnesota to my professors at Georgetown.

It's very dangerous, making your happiness based on success and fashion. I know the media cares about all that, but I try to ignore that world anyway.

Listen, you only tease the ones you love.

I will never get married to the head of General Motors. I will never be the wife of a superstar. For those women, their lives are somebody else's. I will never be a Mrs. Blabidyblah!

The main thing in a cup tie is to get through.
