It's surprising how many persons go through life without ever recognizing that their feelings toward other people are largely determined by their feelings toward themselves and if you're not comfortable within yourself you can't be comfortable with others.
It takes half your life before you discover life is a do-it-yourself project.
You come to a point in your life when you really don't care what people think about you you just care what you think about yourself.
Whatever you do in life surround yourself with smart people who'll argue with you.
Today is life-the only life you are sure of. Make the most of today. Get interested in something. Shake yourself awake. Develop a hobby. Let the winds of enthusiasm sweep through you. Live today with gusto.
Life is to be lived. If you have to support yourself you had bloody well better find some way that is going to be interesting. And you don't do that by sitting around.
When you are tough on yourself life is going to be infinitely easier on you.
Being yourself is one of the hardest things because it's scary. You always wonder whether you'll be accepted for who you really are. I decided to call my record 'Inside Out' because that's my motto about life. I don't think you ever succeed at trying to be anyone else but who you truly are.
Develop an interest in life as you see it the people things literature music - the world is so rich simply throbbing with rich treasures beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.
Your life is the fruit of your own doing. You have no one to blame but yourself.
Very little is needed to make a happy life it is all within yourself in your way of thinking.
You can never really live anyone else's life not even your child's. The influence you exert is through your own life and what you've become yourself.
Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.
Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.
Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.
Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life define yourself.
And understandably so that when you're in legal jeopardy you really cannot put yourself in a position to open yourself up to the media.
