Stand up to crises. Don't let them throw you! Fight to stay calm... even surmount the crisis completely and turn it into an opportunity. Refuse to renounce your self-image. No matter what happens, you must keep your good opinion of yourself. No matter what happens, you must hold your past successes in your imagination, ready for showing in the motion picture screen of your mind. No matter what happens, no matter what you lose, no matter what failures you must endure, you must keep faith in yourself. Then you can stand up to crises, with calm and courage, refusing to buckle; then you will not fall through the floor. You will be able to support yourself.

There is a time for departure even when there's no certain place to go.

Tennessee (Thomas Lanier) Willia

Barangsiapa muncul di atas masyarakatnya, dia akan selalu menerima tuntutan dari masyarakatnya-masyarakat yang menaikkannya, atau yang membiarkannya naik.... Pohon tinggi dapat banyak angin? Kalau Tuan segan menerima banyak angin, jangan jadi pohon tinggi

Pramoedya Ananta Toer

The opposite of anger is not calmness, its empathy.

I had a non-existent knowledge of Queen Victoria's early years. Like everyone else, I thought of her as an old lady dressed in black. My mom had told me about her, though, that she had a very loving relationship with Albert, that they had lots of kids, and that he died young.

Emily Blunt

I am simply looking for a companion with whom to spend my days, a companion who will cherish as much as I the stupidity of living in the moment, and spend every dull, amazing second with me.

Heidi Julavits

Of pain you could wish only one thing: that it should stop. Nothing in the world was so bad as physical pain. In the face of pain there are no heroes.

George Orwell

Producing is just a big learning experience.

Ashley Tisdale

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.

Kahlil Gibran

We do not choose the day of our birth nor may we choose the day of our death, yet choice is the sovereign faculty of the mind.

Thornton Wilder

Some people confuse acceptance with apathy, but there's all the difference in the world. Apathy fails to distinguish between what can and what cannot be helped; acceptance makes that distinction. Apathy paralyzes the will-to-action; acceptance frees it by relieving it of impossible burdens.

Arthur Gordon

Comedy is not funny. Comedy is hard work and timing and lots and lots of rehearsals.

Larry Hagman

Consciousness is much more than the thorn, it is the dagger in the flesh.
