But I can tell you what I believe: When tens of thousands of innocent souls have perished in Darfur-when 11 million children are without health insurance-when our colossal debt subjects our economic future to the whims of Asian bankers-no one can tell me that faith demands this Senate spend its time arguing over a handful of judges. No one with those priorities can use my faith to intimidate me.
What I want to happen is to be really creative, and to play something new in the improvisations, every time.
The environment does not determine man's culture; it merely sets the outer limits and at the same time offers opportunities.
To know the future absolutely it to be trapped into that future absolutely. It collapses time. Present becomes future.
There's always time. . . to own up to things you're ashamed of, to change them. There's always time to start. And I think the starting is the most important thing. It takes courage. It takes a lot more courage than any vain feat of arms, let me tell you. It takes a lifetime to become a fool, and only a moment to begin to become wise.
Ronald Reagan would have a hard time getting elected as a Republican today.
It's hard to make a cultural phenomenon every time.
All human power is a compound of time and patience.
There is a time and a place for creativity.
We literally are all made out of stardust. We started from those stars; we are made of stardust. So, next time you are really depressed, look in the mirror and you can look and say, 'Hi, I'm looking at a star here. '
Scheduling down time as part of your routine is hard but worth it, personally, even professionally.
By tomorrow at this time, I think you're going to have a much better idea of what crazy is. -- Ev Hillman
No matter what time your guests arrive, pretend they're early, so naturally you're not ready.
When you start a movie, it's not like other kinds of work that you have when you know your boss for years or colleagues for years. You're meeting everyone, mostly, for the first time. You have to get comfortable with those people so you can perform, because the first thing that is going to shut you down is any kind of anxiety.
Some of us have a hard time believing that we are actually able to face our own pain. We have convinced ourselves that our pain is too deep, too frightening, something to avoid at all costs. Yet if we finally allow ourselves to feel the depth of that sadness and gently let it break our hearts, we may come to feel a great freedom, a genuine sense of release and peace, because we have finally stopped running away from ourselves and from the pain that lives within us.
When you feel the need for a spiritual lift, try getting to bed early and get up early to have a quiet time at dawn. Then carry the serene 'in tune' feeling that comes to you into your day, no matter what you may be doing.
No one ever has time to examine himself honestly, and most people look no further than their neighbors' eyes, in which they may see their own reflection.
We stayed a long, long time, to see you, to meet you, to see you at last.
Goals work. Pick one debt, and then put every dime into paying down that one debt. Once that debt is paid off, start paying down the next debt. Pretty soon it's time to move from paying debt to building savings.
The person who has lived the most is not the one with the most years but the one with the richest experiences.
