Just as you won’t enjoy the fruits of the tree you dislike, so you won’t even wait to learn from people you hate.

If you are someone who dislikes, condemns and rejects new ideas, you aren’t fit to lead.

You can’t shower happiness on others without getting few drops back on yourself.

You can’t afford to limit your joy. It has been proven several times that angry people are never happy people.

Anyone who wants to prevent you from making other people happy is an enemy. If you are stopping yourself from making others happy, you are your own enemy.

You put your own joy in prison if you work hard to make other people’s happiness suffocate.

Do what you can with all love and passion irrespective of whether it pays you well or not. Joy in the result lives longer than the joy in the reward.

The essence of one life is empowering another life, and so your passion has to be linked to the liberation of other people’s happiness.

Hatred is a burden that can hunt you day by day, robbing you off your personal joy in broad day light.

Haters can never rejoice especially when their enemy wins. The moment you can’t be happy when someone wins, watch yourself. That habit is not good for you.

Sometimes, people don’t need our monies and our treasures. All they need is our encouragements to give them hope.

Somehow, the more I get older, and the more I see of people and sadness and illness and everything, the sorrier I get for everyone.

We must forget in order to remain present, forget in order not to die, forget in order to remain faithful.

When you give all your power to the powers that be, you take away the powers of thee.

Love wakes men, once a lifetime each; They lift their heavy lids, and look; And, lo, what one sweet page can teach They read with joy, then shut the book.

My biggest fantasy love affair was with Dustin Hoffman. It's so bizarre. Also Anthony Hopkins.

Automatic simply means that you can?t repair it yourself.

There are certain things people always bring up with me. The accident. The drugs. And how tight my pants were.

Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

If I lose my mind again and I tell you that I'm thinking of getting married, I want you to put me in a straight jacket and take me to the beach at high tide.

I'm actually a pretty upbeat person outside of playing music.
