Just as a tree, though cut down, sprouts up again if its roots remain uncut and firm, even so, until the craving that lies dormant is rooted out, suffering springs up again and again.

Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to others.

Peace comes from within.  Do not seek it without.

Better than a thousand hollow words is one word that brings peace.

If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading

Tune as the sitthar, neither high nor low, and we will dance away the hearts of men.

Know well what leads you forward and what holds you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom.

Your mind is a powerful thing. When you filter it with positive thoughts, your life will start to change.

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle. Happiness never decreases by being shared.

The way to happiness is: keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, give much. Fill your life with love. Do as you would be done by.

Since everything is a reflection of our minds, everything can be changed by our minds.

Our service as believers is in our help and attitude towards others

Everything is creative. It's all relative to me. No matter what, you've gotta use your imagination, use your senses.

I'm a big fan of the Pixar movies, and Ed Catmull, who wrote a book about his experiences producing them, talks about how it takes three or four years to get it right.

More than once my mother would point out: "Harry Belafonte is the best-looking man on the planet."

I like to show as much of a woman as I can. I like to fill things out.

It's almost like we have ESPN.

I know I haven't done it. I've done a couple of films, which were intended to go straight up. Thankfully they didn't. So now, I think that's what I need to do. I just need to grow as an actor.

And what is a stage dad, or a stage mom? It's someone who's protective. That's all.

What we now call "finance" is, I hold, an intellectual perversion of what began as warm human love.

There's no reason to do anything twice, and certainly no reason to do something that almost killed you.
