An optimist is a person who starts a new diet on Thanksgiving Day.
In entertainment, I adore Ricky Gervais in 'Derek'. His performance is unbelievably charming, funny and poignant. In life, I adore my girlfriend. She is the most adorable person I have ever met — from her silly jokes to her cute teeth to her little drawings.
A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.

How a person masters his fate is more important than what his fate is.
Only a crazy person wouldn't fear approaching a car with tinted windows during a late-night car stop, or pounding up a flight of stairs to execute a search warrant, or fast-roping from a helicopter down into hostile fire. Real agents, like real people, feel that fear in the pit of their stomachs.

Civilization began the first time an angry person cast a word instead of a rock.
Can you imagine being Leonardo Da Vinci in the 1400s trying to describe his ideas for machines that would allow humans to fly to the average person of his time? This is hundreds of years before the invention of electricity, the internal combustion engine, and many other things we take for granted today.
Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is.
Marriage is not about age; it's about finding the right person.
Great things in business are never done by one person. They're done by a team of people.
The foundation of success in life is good health: that is the substratum fortune; it is also the basis of happiness. A person cannot accumulate a fortune very well when he is sick.
