I have this embedded faith in the process through which films of a certain type get discovered on longer timelines.

The measure of a man is not how great his faith is but how great his love is. We must not let government programs disconnect our souls from each other.

The origin of the absurd idea of immortal life is easy to discover it is kept alive by hope and fear by childish faith and by cowardice.

Bad faith likes discourse on friendship and loyalty.

Whatever universe a professor believes in must at any rate be a universe that lends itself to lengthy discourse. A universe definable in two sentences is something for which the professorial intellect has no use. No faith in anything of that cheap kind!

The meme for blind faith secures its own perpetuation by the simple unconscious expedient of discouraging rational inquiry.

One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn't pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself.

I went to a motivational training course once a course of self-discovery and I found out after a week that my fear - it was not a fear of not being accepted - was a very violent fear of failure.

You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes make all you can. Because remember that's where you'll find success - on the far side of failure.

I'd like to see much more understanding of emotional issues around hurt abandonment disappointment longing failure and shame where they stem from and how they drive people and policies brought into public discourse.

As might be supposed my parents were quite poor but we somehow never seemed to lack anything we needed and I never saw a trace of discontent or a failure in cheerfulness over their lot in life as indeed over anything.

I will not be discouraged by failure I will not be elated by success.

We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do by finding out what will not do and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery.

Every great work every big accomplishment has been brought into manifestation through holding to the vision and often just before the big achievement comes apparent failure and discouragement.

A man can get discouraged many times but he is not a failure until he begins to blame somebody else and stops trying.

Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.

The most important of my discoveries have been suggested to me by my failures.

Restlessness is discontent and discontent is the first necessity of progress. Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure.

Acting is a very personal process. It has to do with expressing your own personality and discovering the character you're playing through your own experience - so we're all different.

At an incredibly divisive point in pop history Donna Summer managed to create an undeniable across-the-board experience of mass pleasure - after 'Bad Girls ' nobody ever tried claiming disco sucked again. It set the template for what Michael Jackson would do a few months later with 'Off The Wall.'

Writing a story or a novel is one way of discovering sequence in experience of stumbling upon cause and effect in the happenings of a writer's own life.

I have this horrible sense of humor where I think discomfort is funny - partly because I experience discomfort a lot and it's a way of laughing at it and getting a release.

I discovered early on that some performers live their life in order to act so all their relationships are simply an experience that they can feed back into their work. Which I find vampiric.

Reasoning draws a conclusion but does not make the conclusion certain unless the mind discovers it by the path of experience.
