The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
Finance is not merely about making money. It's about achieving our deep goals and protecting the fruits of our labor. It's about stewardship and, therefore, about achieving the good society.
There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage.
Don't ever criticize yourself. Don't go around all day long thinking, 'I'm unattractive, I'm slow, I'm not as smart as my brother.' God wasn't having a bad day when he made you... If you don't love yourself in the right way, you can't love your neighbour. You can't be as good as you are supposed to be.
Whatever you are, be a good one.
No matter how good you are, at some point your kids are gonna have to create their own independence and think that Mom and Dad aren't cool, just to establish themselves. That's what adolescence is about. They're gonna go through that no matter what.

I think it is a good thing to have woman friends at every stage of life. We confide in each other, we support each other, we understand each other most of the time.

Bad officials are the ones elected by good citizens who do not vote.
I think what I love about the documentary process is that you bring yourself to the documentary. And hopefully that makes you ask good questions, and hopefully that makes you reveal a little bit about yourself as well.
Do all the work you can; that is the whole philosophy of the good way of life.
Sometimes comparing can be a good thing: it can inspire us to work harder and reach farther. But for the most part, excessive measuring yourself up against others — especially when it becomes a way to put yourself down — is a colossal waste of time. It's a dead end. It won't make you do anything except feel horrible.
Your net worth to the world is usually determined by what remains after your bad habits are subtracted from your good ones.
You're a good man, Charlie Brown.
A book comes and says, 'Write me'. My job is to try to serve it to the best of my ability, which is never good enough, but all I can do is listen to it, do what it tells me and collaborate.
