To win you have to score one more goal than your opponent.
Let us never forget that the greatest man is never more than an animal disguised as a god.
Successful people have a bigger fear of failure than people who've never done anything because if you haven't been successful, then you don't know how it feels to lose it all. You don't have that fear. So why do you think people get stuck in those boxes? It's that fear of going back down.
The optimum population is, then, less than the maximum.
The movies that influenced me were movies that told their stories through pictures more than words.
No event in American history is more misunderstood than the Vietnam War. It was misreported then, and it is misremembered now.

The doctrine of the immortality of the soul has more threat than comfort.
There's always a version of me who is the narrator. And I make myself look better than other people.
Even in five years time, he will still be four years younger than Damon Hill.
When I was a teenager, reading for me was as normal, as unremarkable as eating or breathing. Reading gave flight to my imagination and strengthened my understanding of the world, the society I lived in, and myself. More importantly, reading was fun, a way to live more than one life as I immersed myself in each good book I read.
Governments have always been wary of the arts because they're wayward and ambiguous and because they deal with feelings rather than facts.
History is little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind.
It's great to sit and talk about the films and the people I work with, rather than where I buy my socks or whatever.
With any good projects, I feel like the off-screen chemistry factors on-screen. It's great when you don't have to force it, but when it's not there, you better focus on getting there because, as we live with these characters, we spend more time with one another than we do our families at home.
When I'm ready to make a photograph, I think I quite obviously see in my minds eye something that is not literally there in the true meaning of the word. I'm interested in something which is built up from within, rather than just extracted from without.
No lover, if he be of good faith, and sincere, will deny he would prefer to see his mistress dead than unfaithful.
Nothing is better for a young journalist than to go and write about something that other people don't know about. If you can afford to send yourself to some foreign part, I still think that's by far the best way to break in.
It's not just Bin Laden or just those that are involved in the counterterrorism effort. We've gotta cast the net broader than that. But I think it's a - very special tribute that we all owe to the bravery and courage of the men and women in the intelligence and military business who performed so well to finally get it done.
Nothing irritates me more than chronic laziness in others. Mind you, it's only mental sloth I object to. Physical sloth can be heavenly.
What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness?
I grew up where my parents would literally shove me in the car rather than have to say hello to a neighbor.
Short of being prime minister there isn't a better job in British politics than running London.
The road to the future leads us smack into the wall. We simply ricochet off the alternatives that destiny offers. Our survival is no more than a question of 25, 50 or perhaps 100 years.
I was in better shape when I went into boot camp than when I came out.
Our society's strong emphasis on dieting and self-image can sometimes lead to eating disorders. We know that more than 5 million Americans suffer from eating disorders, most of them young women.

The more I think about it, the more I realize there is nothing more artistic than to love others.
No power on earth is greater than a mind and soul reawakened. Our Constitution begins 'we the people', not 'us the government'.
Peace is much more precious than a piece of land... let there be no more wars.
I've forgotten more about bad putting than all the lousy putters in the firmament combined. My mind has been twisted into an incurable, disturbing venue of bad speed and inadequate line. I just want to go out and not feel like I'm putting a Rubik's Cube with a flimsy piece of rope.
In religion as in politics it so happens that we have less charity for those who believe half our creed, than for those who deny the whole of it.
I'm more interested in producing than acting.
News is so often a report of conflict, an account of problems, a thing of the day and even of the minute, that sometimes I think we make the background darker and the shadows deeper than they actually are.
My deal is that I pay more attention to whatever job I have than the relationships I have. Now, if I had considered my job to be a wife and mother, then I would have been pretty good at it. But I didn't consider it a job. I thought it was like brushing your teeth - it's not fun, it's just something you do to keep your teeth from falling out.
