“Imaginary obstacles are insurmountable. Real ones aren’t.”

Every time you have to make a choice about anything, think Does this go toward or away from what I want? Always choose what goes toward what you want.

The cure for sorrow is to learn something.

What you’re really supposed to be doing is whatever makes your heart sing.

A direct statement about yourself is considered objective only if it is negative. If it’s positive, it is considered subjective. And ‘objective’ means it is accurate, and ‘subjective’ means it is conceited self-delusion.

Wishing and dreaming are the beginning of all human endeavor.

A good work is a partnership between you and nature… Nature will help you every step of the way.

Real Dreams don’t require you to abandon your family, quit your job, and move to Tahiti with your paintbrush. They just require that you search your soul for that deep dream you put aside-and go for it. And watch your life light up.

You don’t need endless time and perfect conditions. Do it now. Do it today. Do it for twenty minutes and watch your heart start beating.

It’s only too late if you don’t start now.

Isolation is a dream killer.

Doing is a quantum leap from imagining.

Doing what you love isn’t a priviledge; it’s an obligation.

If you don’t know how you feel, you won’t know what you want.

Not fulfilling your dreams will be a loss to the world, because the world needs everyone’s gift – yours and mine.

Being judgmental is cheap. Any fool can do it.

Sometimes the only thing we do to avoid success is refuse to be energetic on our own behalf

As I’ve said, basketball has been, I think, a real cooperative venture. There have been a lot of people that have been involved in it: coaches, administrators – not recently – fans and nobody, nobody any more so than students over the years.

I think my fans will follow me into our combined old age. Real musicians and real fans stay together for a long, long time.

This is their real life – texting about trivial things; listening to numbing music on their private headphones. The machines block everything out – you create your own little trivial world.

Every time you look at a house in Los Angeles, the real-estate agent will tell you that someone famous once lived there. It always seemed irrelevant to me: Does a property gain value just because Alfred Hitchcock used to eat breakfast there?

Success in business today requires real-time, mobile access to business opportunities.

Forget the Beatles and all the rest. This is the real Liverpool sound. It’s real singing, and it’s what the Kop is all about.

Whether you’re on TV or on the stage, you have to work hard to stay fresh, real, and full of energy. You can’t settle back. You always have to stay on your toes.

So, what’s it like in the real world? Well, the food is better, but beyond that, I don’t recommend it.
