I don't think that sin and pursuing happiness are not necessarily the same thing.

If you have not taken the time to define what happiness means to you what have your spent your whole life pursuing?

I can say that I never knew what joy was like until I gave up pursuing happiness or cared to live until I chose to die. For these two discoveries I am beholden to Jesus.

The world runs on individuals pursuing their self interests. The great achievements of civilization have not come from government bureaus. Einstein didn't construct his theory under order from a from a bureaucrat. Henry Ford didn't revolutionize the automobile industry that way.

A man is called selfish not for pursuing his own good but for neglecting his neighbor's.

I believe life is a series of near misses. A lot of what we ascribe to luck is not luck at all. It's seizing the day and accepting responsibility for your future. It's seeing what other people don't see And pursuing that vision.

An open society is a society which allows its members the greatest possible degree of freedom in pursuing their interests compatible with the interests of others.

Ruin is the destination toward which all men rush each pursuing his own best interest in a society that believes in the freedom of the commons.

I had spent many years pursuing excellence because that is what classical music is all about... Now it was dedicated to freedom and that was far more important.

The only freedom which deserves the name is that of pursuing our own good in our own way so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs or impede their efforts to obtain it.

And obviously with hindsight now now knowing what went on in the company it would have been absolutely appropriate back then for us to have the chief executive of the company most senior person in the United Kingdom come and answer for the policy they were pursuing. And we ducked that and frankly that's a failure of Parliament.

A successful life is one that is lived through understanding and pursuing one's own path not chasing after the dreams of others.

It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old they grow old because they stop pursuing dreams.

Anyway I feel myself a bit on the edge on the art world but I don't mind I'm just pursuing my work in a very excited way. And there isn't really a mainstream anymore is there?

My age and health will never allow me to realize the dream of art I've been pursuing all my life.
