Private victories precede public victories. You can't invert that process any more than you can harvest a crop before you plant it.

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.

The key to opening the secret of humanity is to love and understand the beauty of it.

I watch a lot of TV and I got some new hair products.

I really love painting women. Their bodies, their clothes - it all interests me, whereas men really don't that much, in a way.

The trouble is, if you go too far towards being polite, the label that applies is "doormat".

Many a good beginning makes a bad ending.

I was always responsible for everything in my campaign.

It's been a long time since anybody caught me saying something stupid.

Greatest risk of all: to be vulnerable, to allow others to see us as we really are

Whatever road you've been given, enjoy that road.

Believe while others are doubting.
