I try to eat in a way that makes me feel good. If that means a little bite of chocolate I do that but I try not to use food as a reward for myself.

'Survivor' wouldn't have happened had I not gone out there and helped CBS to sell sponsors to finance the first one. Part of my thinking on 'Survivor' was that it should have rewards that are corporate brands. A Big Mac one thimble-full of Coca-Cola.

The avoidance of taxes is the only intellectual pursuit that still carries any reward.

What people fear most about tragedy is its randomness - a taxi cab jumps the curb and hits a pedestrian a gun misfires and kills a bystander. Better to have some rational cause and effect between incident and injury. And if cause and effect aren't possible better that there at least be some reward for all the suffering.

To work without attachment is to work without the expectation of reward or fear of any punishment in this world or the next. Work so done is a means to the end and God is the end.

You are going to let the fear of poverty govern you life and your reward will be that you will eat but you will not live.

If people are good only because they fear punishment and hope for reward then we are a sorry lot indeed.

The big thing that everyone forgets you're famous and on TV and everything but I think there's something very rewarding to be able to write a song record it and have it turn out as you heard it in your head or even better.

I don't want to be reincarnated that's for sure. When you've had rewarding experiences in your life - a loving family friends - you don't need additional reassurances that you're going to do something with a new cast of characters. I'd just as soon pass.

Faith is to believe what you do not see the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.

It is Basic Management 101 that if you reward failure you are going to get more failure and if you want success you should reward success. But if you look at the way this administration has approached national security they have kind of got that principle backwards.

The pressures are intense because the rewards for success and the penalty for failure are more and more.

America traditionally represents the greatest possibility of someone's going from nothing to something. Why? In theory if not practice the government stays out of the way and lets individuals take risks and reap rewards or accept the consequences of failure. We call this capitalism - or at least we used to.

I think theatre is by far the most rewarding experience for an actor. You get 4 weeks to rehearse your character and then at 7:30 pm you start acting and nobody stops you acting with your entire soul.

The reward of suffering is experience.

The marvelous richness of human experience would lose something of rewarding joy if there were no limitations to overcome. The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse.

We will have bigger bureaucracies bigger labor unions and bigger state-run corporations. It will be harder to be an entrepreneur because of punitive taxes and regulations. The rewards of success will be expropriated for the sake of attaining greater income equality.
