You
(page 14)
Nature, philosophy and social issues are the three things that always occupy my mind. You do not have any power over others but can only change yourself.
Prejudice is a great time saver. You can form opinions without having to get the facts.
If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.
People often ask me how I feel about my invention being used to kill people every day and the AK being a common weapon of ethnic conflicts. I want to make it clear that I created my assault rifle to protect my country. You can blame politicians for its spreading out of control on a global scale.

Don't let people talk you into what they think is you.

Society sets us up to be everything but ourselves, but I want to take a moment and say to people, love yourself. Find your purpose. You are unique, and that makes you great. I pursued my dreams. You can do it, too.
Everything in life is somewhere else, and you get there in a car.
I think children of divorced parents do grow up quicker. You just do.
I like that there's no love as fierce as the love you feel for your family; that there's no one you feel more protective of than the very same people who can drive you crazy.
I do not know anyone who has got to the top without hard work. That is the recipe. It will not always get you to the top, but should get you pretty near.
What is success? I think it is a mixture of having a flair for the thing that you are doing; knowing that it is not enough, that you have got to have hard work and a certain sense of purpose.
Being prime minister is a lonely job... you cannot lead from the crowd.
I don't believe in failure. It is not failure if you enjoyed the process.
Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen.
Apparently Arnold was inspired by President Bush, who proved you can be a successful politician in this country even if English is your second language.
Society is like a stew. If you don't stir it up every once in a while then a layer of scum floats to the top.
