Willpower is the key to success. Successful people strive no matter what they feel by applying their will to overcome apathy doubt or fear.
I had a very famous trainer tell me once 'You can usually train a wild animal but never tame a wild animal ever.' They are always going to be wild no matter what anybody says.
It's not a matter of becoming a superstar. Fame and money aren't the purpose of all this. No actor's going to say 'I don't want to be famous.' But the main purpose for doing what I'm doing is the passion in the work.
I fear that in the end the famous debate among materialists idealists and dualists amounts to a merely verbal dispute that is more a matter for the linguist than for the speculative philosopher.
No matter how famous and established they were or however blessed they were with great songs or long careers if they lived alone they lived alone. That's not the way I wanted to live prior to the tour or after.
I have a profound empathy for people who are in the public eye whether they manifest it themselves or whether it happened by accident - it doesn't matter to me. I think there's a great misunderstanding of what it is to be famous.
There aren't a lot of ironclad rules of family life but here's one: No matter how much your parents deny it - and here's betting they deny it a lot - they have a favorite child. And if you're a parent so do you.
I love being healthy. I get a lot of sleep. I'm a girl who eats. And I feel beautiful no matter how I look. I have my family to thank for that.
Make space in your life for the things that matter for family and friends love and generosity fun and joy. Without this you will burn out in mid-career and wonder where your life went.
The secret is to make sure your family comes before anything else because no matter what you do you've got to come home.
We need to recognise that what really matters isn't buying more and more consumer goods but family friends and knowing that we are doing something worthwhile with our lives. Helping to reduce the appalling consequences of world poverty should be part of that reassessment.
Life is not a matter of place things or comfort rather it concerns the basic human rights of family country justice and human dignity.
If anything interferes with my inner peace I will walk away. Arguments with family members. All that stuff. None of it matters.
The only people that you really have that I learned are your family because they love you no matter what.
Family's first and that's what matters most. We realize that our love goes deeper than the tennis game.
Do it no matter what. If you believe in it it is something very honorable. If somebody around you or your family does not understand it then that's their problem. But if you do have a passion an honest passion just do it.
Leave the matter of religion to the family altar the church and the private school supported entirely by private contributions. Keep the church and state forever separate.
When we're dealing with the people in our family - no matter how annoying or gross they may be no matter how self-inflicted their suffering may appear no matter how afflicted they are with ignorance prejudice or nose hairs - we give from the deepest parts of ourselves.
I think illness is a family journey no matter what the outcome. Everybody has to be allowed to process it and mourn and deal with it in their own way.
We give a lot of others significance in our lives even when they don't deserve it. It doesn't matter if they're family or if you've known them forever. If they're not good for you they've got to go.
The virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one's own family.
There are no adequate substitutes for father mother and children bound together in a loving commitment to nurture and protect. No government no matter how well-intentioned can take the place of the family in the scheme of things.
No matter what you've done for yourself or for humanity if you can't look back on having given love and attention to your own family what have you really accomplished?
Many are needed to plant and water what has been planted now that the faith has spread so far and there are so many people... No matter who plants or waters God gives no harvest unless what is planted is the faith of Peter and unless he agrees to his teachings.
IQ is a commodity data is a commodity. I'm far more interested in watching people interact at a restaurant with their smartphone. We can all read 'Tech Crunch ' 'Ad Age.' I would rather be living in the trenches. I would rather be going to Whole Foods in Columbus Circle to watch people shop with their smartphones.
