To achieve happiness I advocate four major principles, the principles of love, wisdom, self-reflection, and progress.

You cannot increase the length of a day but you can improve the quality of it.

You must love beyond the difference of all religions, all nations, and all races. You are originally one.

The bigger your mission becomes, the greater inspiration you will be given.

Examining your thoughts is an important part of the practice of self-reflections

Compassion is the heart that never stops loving others. It is like a wellspring that never runs dry.

The origin of love is the beautiful light of the soul.

Failures and setbacks are a part of this experience, and it will remain in you as wisdom.

To give means to think, every single day, about what you can do to make people happy.

Hire great people and give them freedom to be awesome.

Never give up. No matter what is happening, no matter what is going on around you, never give up.

We can now destroy or we can cherish-the choice is ours.

Girls, like flowers, bloom but once. But once is enough.

Maybe one of the only things I do well: I cook like a maniac! I would be a chef if I weren't an actor.

The American spirit wears no political label. In service to others and yes, in sacrifice for our country, there are no Republicans; there are no Democrats; there are only Americans.

We don't always cry because we are weak, sometimes we cry because we have been strong, brave and courageous for way too long.

I threw so hard (after striking out Art Fletcher & Doc Crandall in the 9th inning of Game 1 of the 1912 World Series) I thought my arm would fly right off my body.

It is false to believe that the sun revolves around the earth, but it is not absurd.

If I had a ghost living on my street. I would try to stay alive, and offer him some meat!
