What life half gives a man, posterity gives entirely.

Live each day as if your life had just begun.

Correction does much, but encouragement does more.

We do not have to visit a madhouse to find disordered minds; our planet is the mental institution of the universe.

Every day we should hear at least one little song, read one good poem, see one exquisite picture, and, if possible, speak a few sensible words.

The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. Whatever you think you can do, or believe you can do, begin it. Action has magic, power and grace.

Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen.

At the moment of commitment the entire universe conspires to assist you.

Courage is the commitment to begin without any guarantee of success.

If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse; however, if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I help you become that.

There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.

Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.

Every opportunity, every influence and affluence you possess, could not have been for you alone, but to act as a platform to impact a generation.

About me - I used to want to be a P.E. teacher, and kind of still do.

It's hard to be objective about your own work.

Paying attention and awareness are universal capacities of human beings.

To keep our hearts open is probably the most urgent responsibility you have as you get older.

I've always been prepared to put my money where my mouth is.

People can say what they like about the eternal verities, love and truth and so on, but nothing's as eternal as the dishes.

Do what you love. It’s going to lead to where you want to go.

What I hope is that I don't just become 'Peter from The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.' I want to try and do something else to be a good actor and a respected actor.
