Man, be he who he may, experiences a last piece of good fortune and a last day. [Ger., Der Mensch erfahrt, er sei auch wer er mag, Ein letztes Gluck und einen letzten Tag.]

Live each day as if your life had just begun.

Correction does much, but encouragement does more.

We do not have to visit a madhouse to find disordered minds; our planet is the mental institution of the universe.

Every day we should hear at least one little song, read one good poem, see one exquisite picture, and, if possible, speak a few sensible words.

The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. Whatever you think you can do, or believe you can do, begin it. Action has magic, power and grace.

Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen.

At the moment of commitment the entire universe conspires to assist you.

Courage is the commitment to begin without any guarantee of success.

If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse; however, if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I help you become that.

There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.

These Songs are not meant to be understood, you understand.They are only meant to terrify & comfort.

Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.

I love immigrants. Legal, illegal - they're not to be despised.

Old men are always young enough to learn with profit.

Truth is a glorious but hard mistress. She never consults, bargains or compromises.

That's the thing with animated films - I often feel that puppets get the better parts compared to us normal actresses.

Live, travel, adventure, bless, and don't be sorry.

As you see in a pair of bellows, there is a forced breath without life, so in those that are puffed up with the wind of ostentation, there may be charitable words without works.

I think when you make a movie, one of your main focuses as a director is to inspire everyone else to give their best. Like manipulation.

Virtue is chok'd with foul ambition
