We've got to know our history. We have to be able to bring our children to a place that they can be proud of.

Science of mind teaches you how to realize how much control you have over your own life. It teaches you that we have the ability to change our lives at any point we choose.

You cheat yourself when you don't do what it is you're supposed to do. You have an obligation to learn everything that you can.

The reason most of the children are having problems in any inner-city neighborhood is because they don't see enough positive role models in their own environment.

There's always something we can complain about. We're all one. Things could always be better, but things could always be worse.

It would have been so pointless to kill himself that, even if he had wanted to, the pointlessness would have made him unable.

In other words, the more stupid one is, the more he thinks he knows.

He had carte blanche to eat whatever he wanted. No amount of broccoli and vitamin D kills ten lung tumors and I know not how many brain tumors. Have the tiramisu.

A failure is a man who has blundered but is not able to cash in the experience.

A man who pretends to understand women is bad manners. For him to really to understand them is bad morals.

Confronting your fears and allowing yourself the right to be human can, paradoxically, make you a far happier and more productive person.

One need ask only 'What for? What am I to unify my being for?' The reply is: Not for my own sake.

I have learned to cry again and I think perhaps that means I am a human being again. Perhaps that at least. A piece of human being but, yes, a human being.
