Love even for enemies is the key to the solution of the problems of our world.

If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.

Forgiveness is not an occasional act, it is a constant attitude.

The time is always right to do what is right.

I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.

The time is always right to do the right thing.

You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right. A man dies when he refuses to stand up for justice. A man dies when he refuses to take a stand for that which is true.

It's not the violence of the few that scares me, it's the silence of the many

Never do anything local or insignificant

I think there is much more storytelling in stand-up now. Less emphasis on the joke. Jokes are still important, but it feels like a more intimate and personal experience these days.

All human beings were of course unique, and they only discovered that when someone else fell in love with them or when no one ever fell in love with them.

Sometimes it's better to just be quiet, to not think of anything at all. Out of silence comes the greatest creativity.

I would say, 'Go ask any couple that's been married for 30, 40, 50 years... It hasn't always been roses.'

Good acting comes from finding the essence of a character.

If you do anything for too long, it starts to lack edge, to become too easy. Easy is the kiss of death.

Give with a truly glad heart, for the sole purpose of the good it will do, and whatever you give shall return to you, multiplied, as if on wings, covered in sparkles.

Suicide is the most private and mysterious of acts, inexplicable because the chief actor is never there to explain it.

A work of art has an author and yet, when it is perfect, it has something which is anonymous about it.
