“Don’t let failure go to your heart, and don’t let success go to your head.”

Don’t ever let someone tell you that you can’t do something. You got a dream, you gotta protect it. When people can’t do something themselves, they are going to tell you that you can’t do it.

Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away.

If you don’t believe in yourself, how can you expect anyone else to?? You are your own worst enemy! Once you overcome yourself, then no one can stop you.

I’m motivated by fear. Fear of fear. I hate being scared to do something. And I think what developed in my early days was the attitude that I started attacking things that I was scared of.

In my mind, I’ve always been an A-list Hollywood superstar. Y’all just didn’t know yet.

I’ve always considered myself to be just average talent and what I have is a ridiculous insane obsessiveness for practice and preparation.

The love and trust your kids have for you is something beautiful.

The greatest dreams are always unrealistic.

I kept telling her that we can’t compare our relationship to the neighbors.

Bend the universe to your Will.

The women who don’t seek attention are usually the women you need to be giving your attention to.

You can cry, ain’t no shame in it.

Whatever your dream is, every extra penny you have needs to be going to that.

10 ways to love: listen, speak, give, pray, answer, share, enjoy, trust, forgive, promise.

Smiling is the best way to face every problem, to crush every fear, to hide every pain.

Music choice on point though.

People are so brainwashed by the rules that they don’t know what really matters.

I try not to get analytical in the writing process. I try to just kind of keep the flow from my brain to my hand as far as the pen is concerned and go with the moment and go with my guts.

Don’t prepare. Begin. Our enemy is not lack of preparation. The enemy is resistance, our chattering brain producing excuses. Start before you are ready.

There is no scientific study more vital to man than the study of his own brain. Our entire view of the universe depends on it.

I saw that all beings are fated to happiness: action is not life, but a way of wasting some force, an enervation. Morality is the weakness of the brain.

The brain is the last and grandest biological frontier, the most complex thing we have yet discovered in our universe. It contains hundreds of billions of cells interlinked through trillions of connections. The brain boggles the mind.

The brain, the mind, and all the things that happen inside it, it’s a very erogenous zone.

The truth is, the Science of Nature has been already too long made only a work of the Brain and the Fancy: It is now high time that it should return to the plainness and soundness of Observations on material and obvious things.
