The 'kingdom of Heaven' is a condition of the heart - not something that comes 'upon the earth' or 'after death.'
When your time comes to die be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.
Death comes to all but great achievements build a monument which shall endure until the sun grows cold.
A dying man needs to die as a sleepy man needs to sleep and there comes a time when it is wrong as well as useless to resist.
I think feminism's a bit misinterpreted. It was about casting off all gender roles. There's nothing wrong with a man holding a door open for a girl. But we sort of threw away all the rules so everybody's confused. And dating becomes a sloppy uncomfortable unpleasant thing.
I'm not old-fashioned when it comes to dating but there's something nice about a guy pulling out a girl's chair and opening the door for her even if it's just in the beginning.
I wouldn't tell you anything about anybody I cared about because it becomes entertainment for other people and it sort of just cheapens everything in your life. I would never tell you if I was dating anybody.
The prospect of dating someone in her twenties becomes less appealing as you get older. At some point in your fife your tolerance level goes down and you realize that with someone much younger there's nothing really to talk about.
I fantasize about going back to high school with the knowledge I have now. I would shine. I would have a good time I would have a girlfriend. I think that's where a lot of my pain comes from. I think I never had any teenage years to go back to.
Nothing is perfect. Life is messy. Relationships are complex. Outcomes are uncertain. People are irrational.
I'm a dad now and whatever I'm doing in life I usually put a lot of effort into it - usually too much effort so it kind of comes off ridiculous at times.
I'm an artist and I go in the studio and make my music. And then I'll give it to my dad and he does what he does. And he does you know the press and figuring out shows and whatnot. When it comes to my artistic freedom he doesn't like step on my toes or anything.
That is where the irony of the film comes off in terms of the language it employs - where he tries desperately to be a 'TV Dad ' to give advice and it's so pat it becomes ridiculous.
You know not having my real dad around and having a step dad made me want to be a great dad. So now I have been one for 9 years. And now 3 daughters. So that is what I am - a dad first and foremost before anything else. It's just something that comes natural now.
You always give credit where credit is due - to high school coaches college coaches - but my dad the foundation that he built with me is where all of this came from. The speed the determination the mindset just the natural belief that you can do anything you put your mind to it all comes from my dad.
My dad was a baggage handler at Heathrow and careful with money. He worked hard and had three jobs when I was young. I wish I'd inherited his care for money. Sadly I've grown up to be rather scatty when it comes to finances.
My dad spent his whole life getting into fights for telling what he believed to be the truth. Basically it comes from my dad-and he's screaming right-wing so there you are.
My dad was a labourer and my mum had exactly the same job as Noel Gallagher's mum - she was a dinner lady at our local school. Everyone comes over from Ireland and they get the same jobs.
I've got high standards when it comes to boys. As my dad says all girls should! I'm from the South - Tennessee to be exact - and down there we're all about southern hospitality. I know that if I like a guy he better be nice and above all my dad has to approve of him!
Dad kept us out of school but school comes and goes. Family is forever.
I know that I will never find my father in any other man who comes into my life because it is a void in my life that can only be filled by him.
Ofttimes the test of courage becomes rather to live than to die.
It is up to African leaders to show their will and political courage in order to assure that this new pan-African institution becomes an efficient instrument and not a place for endless discussions.
Courage to continue comes from deeper sources than outward results.
