World
(page 18)
As a rock star, I have two instincts, I want to have fun, and I want to change the world. I have a chance to do both.
There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed.
God wants us to know that life is a series of beginnings, not endings. Just as graduations are not terminations, but commencements. Creation is an ongoing process, and when we create a perfect world where love and compassion are shared by all, suffering will cease.
I went to my son's graduation this weekend, and I heard a great quote I've never heard before from Albert Einstein. It was that the greatest danger to the world is not the bad people but it's the good people who don't speak out.
You are educated. Your certification is in your degree. You may think of it as the ticket to the good life. Let me ask you to think of an alternative. Think of it as your ticket to change the world.
The more man meditates upon good thoughts, the better will be his world and the world at large.
Let everyone sweep in front of his own door, and the whole world will be clean.
There is nothing in the world more shameful than establishing one's self on lies and fables.

World fertility surveys indicate that anywhere from one third to one half of the babies born in the Third World would not be if their mothers had access to cheap, reliable family planning, had enough personal empowerment to stand up to their husbands and relatives, and could choose their own family size.
I am a person who believes in asking questions, in not conforming for the sake of conforming. I am deeply dissatisfied — about so many things, about injustice, about the way the world works — and in some ways, my dissatisfaction drives my storytelling.
For me, a good thriller must teach me something about the real world. Thrillers like 'Coma', 'The Hunt for Red October' and 'The Firm' all captivated me by providing glimpses into realms about which I knew very little — medical science, submarine technology and the law.
I enjoy trying to develop a car and Mercedes are one of the biggest car manufacturers in the world.
This world of ours... must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect.
