Never boss people around. It's more important to click with people than to click the shutter.

I see pictures all the time. I could stay for hours and watch a raindrop.

The important thing is not the camera but the eye.

Once the amateur's naive approach and humble willingness to learn fades away, the creative spirit of good photography dies with it. Every professional should remain always in his heart an amateur.

Yes, I sold buttons to earn living. But I took pictures to keep on living. Pictures are my life – as necessary as eating or breathing.

When I have a camera in my hand, I know no fear.

In a photograph a person’s eyes tell much, sometimes they tell all.

Retire? Retire from What? Life? I will only retire when I am dead!

I seldom think when I take a picture. My eyes and fingers react - click. But first, it's most important to decide on the angle at which your photograph is to be taken.

We are only beginning to learn what to say in a photograph. The world we live in is a succession of fleeting moments, any one of which might say something significant.

I always prefer photographing in available light – or Rembrandt-light I like to call it – so you get the natural modulations of the face. It makes a more alive, real, and flattering portrait.

Our specific profession serves a sacred purpose.

It is not enough to understand, or to see clearly. The future will be shaped in the arena of human activity, by those willing to commit their minds and their bodies to the task.

Conservative activists, Tea Party activists, are threatening Donald Trump that if he chooses Reince Priebus, he will lose much of his base of support.

No character is ultimately tested until it has suffered.

In the post-individualistic era, science and spirituality will become allies, and human beings will realize a vast potentiality now only dimly felt.

We need to move beyond asking what drug will treat the symptoms, and instead ask what mechanism creates altered neurochemical or neurobiological function or systemic physiological change.

No one before you has gotten to me this way.

There's something about love that builds up and is creative. There is something about hate that tears down and is destructive. So love your enemies.

Do you suppose there is any living man so unreasonable that if he found himself stricken with a dangerous ailment he would not anxiously desire to regain the blessing of health?

Success is nothing more than living your life according to your own truth and your own terms.
