Our character is basically a composite of our habits.

I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.

To achieve goals you've never achieved before, you need to start doing things you've never done before.

The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.

Integrity is conforming reality to our words - in other words, keeping promises and fulfilling expectations.

Most of us spend too much time on what is urgent and not enough time on what is important.

Make small commitments and keep them. Be a light, not a judge. Be a model, not a critic. Be a part of the solution, not the problem.

Our ultimate freedom is the right and power to decide how anybody or anything outside ourselves will affect us.

When you really listen to another person from their point of view, and reflect back to them that understanding, it's like giving them emotional oxygen.

Improve relationships with others by assuming that they can hear everything you say about them

Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.

I am as abundant as the universe because I am a child of the universe.

Don’t invest everything in another man’s calling

And the air was full of Thoughts and Things to Say. But at times like these, only the Small Things are ever said. Big Things lurk unsaid inside.

Remember, you can do anything in your world that you want to.

A lot of what I have always done is do other singers.

By amending our mistakes, we get wisdom. By defending our faults, we betray an unsound mind.

Most people will not do the hard work it takes to make success easy. Don't be like most people.

I always feel very connected to Canada. My reference for everything is my Canadian background, my life in Canada. Particularly on this issue of refugee immigration: I couldn't be prouder of Canada.

You have to learn how to care about people without taking on all of their problems.

Learning is its own exceeding great reward; and at the period of which we speak, it bore other fruits, not unworthy of it.
