What we cannot bear removes us from life; what remains can be borne.

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.

It never ceases to amaze me: we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinions than our own.

You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

The opinion of 10,000 men is of no value if none of them know anything about the subject.

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.

Whenever you are about to find fault with someone, ask yourself the following question: What fault of mine most nearly resembles the one I am about to criticize?

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.

If you can't trust, you can't be trustworthy.

Ultimately there is no such thing as failure. There are lessons learned in different ways.

The brain is a body part too; we just know less about it.

Using music to promote hate seems to be the bastardisation of music to me.

A sense of the fundamental decencies is parceled out unequally at birth.

I was smart enough to go through any door that opened.

Tutoring a four year old to get into an exclusive preschool made as much sense as hiring a swim coach for a guppy.

I know I have a fairly strong feminine side. I find myself really distanced from male behavior.

Soccer is my first love. Ive been playing since I was 4 years old. I traveled the world doing it. I broke my leg when I was 16 or 17, and acting kind of filled the void.
