The difference between self-confidence and conceit is as simple as love and fear. Jesus was self-confident ... Hitler was afraid.

Courage isn't the absence of fear, but a decision that what we want is more important than what we are afraid of.

Selfish is caring for ourselves at others' expense ... Self-care is taking care of ourselves so that we can be there for others.

The journey of life is both too short and too precious to be sidetracked by guilt trips.

Until we become clear about our own worth and value, we will forever be searching for it in the eyes of others.

The way to encourage people to be accountable is to engage the responsible, accountable, trustworthy part of their brain.

When we take care of ourselves like we would take care of someone we love, the quality of our living and our giving goes up.

Regardless of the problem, as long as our solution requires someone else to change, we will never know the power and promise of self-determination.

As long as we define stress as how some person or situation is making us feel, we will have to change the world around us to find peace of mind.

Stress is an indicator of our belief in the value and validity of our worries and fears.

Never define people or situations in terms of their effect on you, unless you want to give them the power to make you feel that way.

To see what is right and not to do it is want of courage, or of principle.

Early in my career, I got roles that demanded that I be fit to carry off the angry young man look. Of course, I'm a fitness freak, and that's something I picked up from my dad.

Virtues, of ... Justice: Wrong none by doing injuries or omitting the benefits that are your duty.

I learned that I have to work hard every day, that I can't get down if I get in a slump.

The Thin Man was a good break, because it was highly popular. I played a gigolo in it.

I haven't many years left ahead of me and I must devote all my time to painting, in the hope of achieving something worthwhile in the end, something if possible that will satisfy me.

I have my detractors in Washington. There are bastards who spread things around, of course, who planted nasty things in the media. Not that I cared very much.

Youth is an amazing thing: I think back on when we did The Lost Boys, and I didn't think I could do anything wrong.

Our planet is falling victim to a rigorism, so that what is done in any remote corner affects - nay, menaces - the whole. Resiliency and tolerance are lost.
