If you have not consciously made the decision to be rich, excellent, and healthy, then you have unconsciously made the decision to be poor, mediocre, and unhealthy.

The very best thing you can do for the whole world is to make the most of yourself.

The grateful mind continually expects good things, and expectation becomes faith.

All you need is to know what you want, and to want it badly enough so that it will stay in your thoughts.

You are to become a creator, not a competitor; you are going to get what you want, but in such a way that when you get it every other man will have more than he has now.

You already have within you everything you need to turn your dreams into reality.

Act now. There is never any time but now, and there never will be any time but now.

Become aware of and recognize fully the fact that the Principle of Power within you is God Himself. You must consciously identify yourself with the Highest.

To fix your attention on the best is to surround yourself with the best, and to become the best.

Abandon everything you have outgrown.

In all your relations to men be great, just, generous, courteous, and kindly. The great are never otherwise.

That kind of pursuit is not beneficial to mankind: art for self aggrandizement at the cost of love.

One day I'll be as strong as people think I am.

Kill the fears before they endorse your failures. When you attempt to stop the terrorist at the time he's at work, you are too late!

Fear enslaves us, Truth sets us free and the only Truth is the Oneness.

The most tragic thing in the world is a man of genius who is not a man of honor.

But Ash, I can't continue to want you from a distance. To love you and not have you. I'd end up in jail if anyone tried to touch you and God forbid you tried to date someone.

I suppose it’s true that most great television, literature, and other forms of high art (and basic cable) benefit from a little hindsight. “M.A.S.H.” comes to mind. So does The Iliad.

Let none think to fly the danger for soon or late love is his own avenger.

I wouldn't want to leave it so long before doing a play again, I get very stolid and sluggish if I do too much telly.

I won't be remembered for my writing. I'll be remembered as Scott's mistress.
