When we have a brilliant idea, instead of making others think it is ours, why not let them cook and stir the idea themselves.

People say I'm cocky, but am I supposed to sit here and be insecure and not know where my future's going or not realize that moviemaking is the greatest thing to happen to me?

The ideas I stand for are not mine. I borrowed them from Socrates. I swiped them from Chesterfield. I stole them from Jesus. And I put them in a book.

Remember, happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have; it depends solely upon what you think. So start each day by thinking of all the things you have to be thankful for. Your future will depend very largely on the thoughts you think today. So think thoughts of hope and confidence and love and success.

The ability to speak well is the shortcut to distinction.

Most of us have far more courage than we ever dreamed we possessed.

Remember that unjust critisism is often a disquised compliment.
