unearned suffering is redemptive.

If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.

Forgiveness is not an occasional act, it is a constant attitude.

The time is always right to do what is right.

I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.

The time is always right to do the right thing.

You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right. A man dies when he refuses to stand up for justice. A man dies when he refuses to take a stand for that which is true.

It's not the violence of the few that scares me, it's the silence of the many

There is nothing in man or nature that does not ask questions.

It does not matter what you know about anything if you cannot communicate to your people. In that event, you are not even a failure. You're just not there.

Just so you know, when they say "Once upon a time” . . . they’re lying

One thing that drives me nuts... well, let me ask you, when writers write do they not use quotation marks anymore?

You know, there's that temptation in interviews to make yourself sound - well, to give yourself a bit of mystery.

I like people wanting to know about me.

People refer to 'the good ol' days', but I don't know what they're talking about. As someone who's battled cancer, if I lived more than 20 years ago, I'd be a dead man.

Of course, you'll have to meet the physical and psychological demands. A space walk takes a lot of energy.

Never regret your past. You have to move on and learn from it.

Evil triumphs when good men do nothing.
