I don't believe that if you do good, good things will happen. Everything is completely accidental and random. Sometimes bad things happen to very good people and sometimes good things happen to bad people. But at least if you try to do good things, then you're spending your time doing something worthwhile.

They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.

There is a time in the last few days of summer when the ripeness of autumn fills the air.

Success does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one a second time.

I try to keep it real. I don't have time to worry about what I'm projecting to the world. I'm just busy being myself.

When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not.

There's a time in your life where you're not quite sure where you are. You think everything's perfect, but it's not perfect... Then one day you wake up and you can't quite picture yourself in the situation you're in. But the secret is, if you can picture yourself doing anything in life, you can do it.

All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for... reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration.

I learned a few years ago that balance is the key to a happy and successful life, and a huge part of achieving that balance is to instill rituals into your everyday life - a nutritious balanced diet, daily exercise, time for yourself through meditation, reading, journaling, yoga, daily reflection, and setting goals.

Saying goodbye doesn't mean anything. It's the time we spent together that matters, not how we left it.

Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world.

It would be impossible to estimate how much time and energy we invest in trying to fix, change and deny our emotions - especially the ones that shake us at our very core, like hurt, jealousy, loneliness, shame, rage and grief.

I was not a good student. I did not spend much time at college; I was too busy enjoying myself.

Champions are not the ones who always win races - champions are the ones who get out there and try. And try harder the next time. And even harder the next time. 'Champion' is a state of mind. They are devoted. They compete to best themselves as much if not more than they compete to best others. Champions are not just athletes.

I've been lucky enough that I can gather all sorts of experiences and find inspiration by traveling around and by spending time with people I admire.

You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.

It's been proven by quite a few studies that plants are good for our psychological development. If you green an area, the rate of crime goes down. Torture victims begin to recover when they spend time outside in a garden with flowers. So we need them, in some deep psychological sense, which I don't suppose anybody really understands yet.

If you are the kind of person who is waiting for the 'right' thing to happen, you might wait for a long time. It's like waiting for all the traffic lights to be green for five miles before starting the trip.

It's a wonderful time when you sit down around the table for dinner and discuss life. No matter where you are, it gives the semblance of normalcy to my crazy world.

But a city is more than a place in space, it is a drama in time.

It's pretty scary to know how quickly time flies.

The jealous are possessed by a mad devil and a dull spirit at the same time.

Time moves in one direction, memory in another.

Better three hours too soon than a minute too late.

By taking the time to stop and appreciate who you are and what you've achieved - and perhaps learned through a few mistakes, stumbles and losses - you actually can enhance everything about you. Self-acknowledgment and appreciation are what give you the insights and awareness to move forward toward higher goals and accomplishments.

Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.

A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.

I have to think that I think it's always been a horse race between this administration's temporary political acumen and their completely, utterly, totally bankrupt policies. And they're coming home to roost. It was always a question of time. These guys aren't conservative. These guys are radicals.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.

Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.

Everything is a learning process: any time you fall over, it's just teaching you to stand up the next time.

Live one day at a time emphasizing ethics rather than rules.

Truth is the daughter of time, not of authority.

Fun is one of the most important - and underrated - ingredients in any successful venture. If you're not having fun, then it's probably time to call it quits and try something else.

It's not really about the competition. Your biggest challenge in a race is yourself. You're often racing against time. You're frequently running everything through your mind. You're always competing against preconceived ideas. It's not really the person next to you that you worry about.

A Bond girl must be a strong and independent woman, but at the same time charming and sensual. Those opposite qualities combined together make her interesting. She must be strong but at the same time feminine.

Stay open-minded; stay focused. Train hard and train smart. For me, the older I get, the smarter I have to train also, because the recovery time is longer. Work on everything: become a well-rounded fighter - don't just be good at one thing; be good at everything.

A lot of legends, a lot of people, have come before me. But this is my time.

Life teaches you that you need to make decisions in the right time - not too early, not too late.

Silence is as deep as eternity, speech a shallow as time.

Only the guy who isn't rowing has time to rock the boat.

I think every girl's dream is to find a bad boy at the right time, when he wants to not be bad anymore.

This confidence is not something that happens overnight. I have been working on it for a long time. I look in the mirror and do affirmations: 'You are bold. You are brilliant. You are beautiful.' If my lower pooch is really popping out that day, I look at it and say, 'Pooch, you are cute!'

The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining.

All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.

Encouragement to others is something everyone can give. Somebody needs what you have to give. It may not be your money; it may be your time. It may be your listening ear. It may be your arms to encourage. It may be your smile to uplift. Who knows?

In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

There's no time for regrets. You've just got to keep moving forward.

The time for action is now. It's never too late to do something.

People are stubborn about what they perceive to be the right thing or the wrong thing, and it takes a long time to filter this human condition. There's a waiting period until people catch up. But if you have patience - which it takes when someone thinks differently from you - everybody always catches up. That patience is a wonderful virtue.
