The greatest analgesic, soporific, stimulant, tranquilizer, narcotic, and to some extent even antibiotic --in short, the closest thing to a genuine panacea --known to medical science is work.

With true friends... even water drunk together is sweet enough.

Chinese Proverb

Part of my job is to train people to break down an involved question into a series of simple matters. Then we can all act intelligently

Richard Deupree

I had a very strong-willed mother, who I totally adored. She was always in control of her life.

Jan de Bont

Knowledge is invariably a matter of degree: you cannot put your finger upon even the simplest datum and say this we know.

T. S. Eliot

He is born in vain, who having attained the human birth, so difficult to get, does not attempt to realise God in this very life

Ramakrishna

I do not admire a virtue like valour when it is pushed to excess, if I do not see at the same time the excess of the opposite virtue, as one does in Epaminondas, who displayed extreme valour and extreme benevolence. For otherwise it is not an ascent, but a fall. We do not display our greatness by placing ourselves at one extremity, but rather by being at both at the same time, and filling up the whole of the space between them.

Blaise Pascal

When the game is over it is really just beginning.

Jerry Kramer

From Obedience and submission comes all our virtues, and all sin is comes from self-opinion.

Michel de Montaigne

God screens us evermore from premature ideas.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I think they quite like me when I work because I'm one of the safer directors to back, because even if my films don't bring their costs in back home, once they're shown outside of India they manage to cover the costs.

Satyajit Ray

Though I might travel afar, I will meet only what I carry with me, for every man is a mirror. We see only ourselves reflected in those around us. Their attitudes and actions are only a reflection of our own. The whole world and its condition has its counter parts within us all. Turn the gaze inward. Correct yourself and your world will change.

Kirsten Zambucka

It's easy to point out other people flaws, but it takes TRUE courage and strength take a look in the mirror, admit personal flaws AND strive to do and be better. That's growth!
