“I suppose it’s knowing when you’ve come up with an idea that works, when you’ve got it right, whatever it is.”

You’re born with certain gifts and you use them as best you can in life. You begin to learn and recognize that you have certain skills and aptitudes that you apply and use them to carry you forward.

Two races we’ve lost which I’m genuinely upset about were India and Turkey.

Nico [Rosberg] is not seeking the limelight as Lewis [Hamilton] does. Lewis wants to be famous.

I think I would find it easier to talk with Nico [Rosenberg] than Lewis [Hamilton], as Lewis is into things that are very distant to me.

I’m a dealer. That’s exactly right. I’m a used car dealer.

I have earned the money and changed the nappies!

Generally I still believe that Lewis [Hamilton] is the best champion that we have had in a long, long time. He manages to get to all different walks of life: red carpet, fashion business, and music – you name it.

You can’t compare eras. But drivers of each era adapt to the needs and climate of their time. There are good and bad points to every era of the sport. I’m not really nostalgic about the past.

If somebody says, “You like putting out fires,” and I say, “It’s not a case of liking it, but I do put them out, and if there aren’t fires left I make them, so I can put them out.” It’s what we do.

It’d be good for the world if [Donald Trump] won.

You can’t make decisions if there are no charges or issues to deal with. So it’s quite normal to wait until there is some reason to react.

If you say ‘Good Morning’ in America and it’s five past twelve you end up with a lawsuit.

I am happy that we have somebody like Lewis [Hamilton]. I also couldn’t be like Lewis. I don’t like gold jewelry!

My dad always took to his heels when a nappy change was necessary. I am so much looking forward to our child. It is such a wonderfully exciting time right now.

I think the way I do things would be difficult to teach somebody to do. They need to get another good used car dealer. That’s what they need. Find a good car dealer.

I have no regrets about the amount of work I put into the sport. This is what I needed to do with my life.

In true meditation the emphasis is on being awareness; not on being aware of objects, but on resting as primordial awareness itself. Primordial awareness is the source in which all objects arise and subside.

A few minutes ago, you knew who you were-you had a history and a personality-but from this place of not knowing, you question all of that.

As you rest into stillness more profoundly, awareness becomes free of the mind’s compulsive control, contractions, and identifications.

Awareness naturally returns to its non-state of absolute unmanifest potential, the silent abyss beyond all knowing.

Right now you can allow yourself to experience a very simple sense of not knowing – not knowing what or who you are, not knowing what this moment is, not knowing anything.

The door to God is the insecurity of not knowing anything. Bear the grace of that uncertainty and all wisdom will be yours.

The idea of perfection always gives one a chance to talk without knowing facts.

The necessity of knowing a little about a great many things is the most grievous burden of our day. It deprives us of leisure on the one hand, and of scholarship on the other.
