I practice staying calm all the time, beginning with situations that aren't tense.

Basic human contact - the meeting of eyes, the exchanging of words - is to the psyche what oxygen is to the brain. If you're feeling abandoned by the world, interact with anyone you can.

Given the eclectic and constantly shifting nature of my metaphysical inclinations, I will probably never feel certain exactly what an angel is.

At times in my life, I have been utterly lonely. At other times, I've had disgusting infectious diseases. Try admitting these things in our culture.

If you're feeling abandoned by the world, interact with anyone you can.

Instead of fretting about getting everything done, why not simply accept that being alive means having things to do? Then drop into full engagement with whatever you're doing, and let the worry go.

Don't expect the future to look like the past. Clear away expectations, and let yourself picture a wild, grand new world.

Whether you've seen angels floating around your bedroom or just found a ray of hope at a lonely moment, choosing to believe that something unseen is caring for you can be a life-shifting exercise.

Although beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, the feeling of being beautiful exists solely in the mind of the beheld.

Every day brings new choices.

Men in high levels of government seldom surf.

The reason you want your kids to pay attention in school is you haven't the faintest idea how to do their homework.

Don't let yourself be lulled into inaction.

To fail to exhibit that we take truth seriously at those points where there is a cost in our doing so, is to push the next generation in the relative, dialectical millstream that surrounds us.

Uruguay is a country which has grown from immigration, people from all over. That is our origin.

I'm really only happy when I'm on stage. I just feed off the energy of the audience. That's what I'm all about - people and laughter.

People reveal themselves completely only when they are thrown out of the customary conditions of their life.

You can work hard, do everything that you think is right, but one thing you'll never overcome in life is fate. You can't control fate.

Man is guided by the stomach. He walks and the stomach goes first and the head afterwards. Have you not seen that? It will take ages for the head to go first.

We've weathered several periods when times weren't so good, and so I don't think we'll cancel our advertising now. In fact, we might even increase it.
