Be happy. It’s one way of being wise.
Give to every human being every right that you claim for yourself.
I love being photographed, I love the ramp.
When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Do you see the real you, or what you have been conditioned to believe is you? The two are so, so different. One is an infinite consciousness capable of being and creating whatever it chooses, the other is an illusion imprisoned by its own perceived and programmed limitations.
If you don’t stick to your values when they’re being tested, they’re not values: they’re hobbies.
I’m hungry for knowledge. The whole thing is to learn every day, to get brighter and brighter. That’s what this world is about. You look at someone like Gandhi, and he glowed. Martin Luther King glowed. Muhammad Ali glows. I think that’s from being bright all the time, and trying to be brighter.
The first thing I heard when I got in the business – not from my mentor – was, ‘Bulls make money, bears make money, and pigs get slaughtered.’ I’m here to tell you I was a pig. And I strongly believe the only way to make long-term returns in our business that are superior is by being a pig.
Capital is money, capital is commodities. By virtue of it being value, it has acquired the occult ability to add value to itself. It brings forth living offspring, or, at the least, lays golden eggs.
I spend hours playing chess because I find it so much fun. The day it stops being fun is the day I give up.
My goal is to give girls and boys a different idea of expression. It’s not always about looking pretty or cute. It’s about expressing yourself however that may be, even if that’s being silly or goofy or weird.
There would be no need for love if perfection were possible. Love arises from our imperfection, from our being different and always in need of the forgiveness, encouragement and that missing half of ourselves that we are searching for, as the Greek myth tells us, in order to complete ourselves.
I think self-awareness is probably the most important thing towards being a champion.
Fortunate people often have very favorable beginnings and very tragic endings. What matters isn’t being applauded when you arrive – for that is common – but being missed when you leave.
Man, being reasonable, must get drunk; the best of life is but intoxication.
My supplements are similar to my training – I always commit to being a better version of myself.
Modeling, for me, isn’t about being beautiful but creating something interesting for people to look at and think about.
I can honestly say – and it’s a big surprise to me – that I have never had a dream about being on the moon.
God will prepare everything for our perfect happiness in heaven, and if it takes my dog being there, I believe he’ll be there.
Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it’s all over.
Being jealous of a beautiful woman is not going to make you more beautiful.
What a waste it is to lose one’s mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is.
I’m not motivated by money or fame. I’m more driven by the electricity of creativity. The idea of being one of the legends that inspired me, being like Tupac.
There is no surprise more magical than the surprise of being loved: It is God’s finger on man’s shoulder.
Each morning when I awake, I experience again a supreme pleasure – that of being Salvador Dali.
Being a housewife and a mother is the biggest job in the world, but if it doesn’t interest you, don’t do it – I would have made a terrible mother.
I want you to be everything that’s you, deep at the center of your being.
Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable – a most sacred right – a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world.
I am always ready to learn although I do not always like being taught.
Being in control of your life and having realistic expectations about your day-to-day challenges are the keys to stress management, which is perhaps the most important ingredient to living a happy, healthy and rewarding life.
How easy it is to govern when one follows a system of consulting the will of the people and one holds as the only norm all the actions which contribute to the well being of the people.
Vulnerability is the essence of romance. It’s the art of being uncalculated, the willingness to look foolish, the courage to say, ‘This is me, and I’m interested in you enough to show you my flaws with the hope that you may embrace me for all that I am but, more important, all that I am not.’
Each contact with a human being is so rare, so precious, one should preserve it.
I’m intimidated by the fear of being average.
Do you wish to be great? Then begin by being. Do you desire to construct a vast and lofty fabric? Think first about the foundations of humility. The higher your structure is to be, the deeper must be its foundation.
Being taken for granted is an unpleasant but sincere form of praise. Ironically, the more reliable you are, and the less you complain, the more likely you are to be taken for granted.
We are not victims of aging, sickness and death. These are part of scenery, not the seer, who is immune to any form of change. This seer is the spirit, the expression of eternal being.
You might not make it to the top, but if you are doing what you love, there is much more happiness there than being rich or famous.
I think being stylish is about being you.
The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook.
Being the boss anywhere is lonely. Being a female boss in a world of mostly men is especially so.
Being quiet is comfortable. Keeping things the way they’ve been is comfortable. And all comfort has done is maintain the status quo.
I don’t pity any man who does hard work worth doing. I admire him. I pity the creature who does not work, at whichever end of the social scale he may regard himself as being.
Elegance is achieved when all that is superfluous has been discarded and the human being discovers simplicity and concentration: the simpler and more sober the posture, the more beautiful it will be.
I hate being the heartbreaker. Hate it. If I date somebody and it doesn’t work out, it’s another nightmare for me.
When you spend a lot of time, like I do, just standing around and waiting, or being moved from place to place, every minute gets consumed by something someone else has set up for you. And it’s not like I’m always in a beautiful place wearing something gorgeous.
I always had a fantasy of being a chef, because I like kitchen life.
Boredom is just the reverse side of fascination: both depend on being outside rather than inside a situation, and one leads to the other.
Conflict is good in a negotiation process… it’s the clash of two ideas, which then, all being well, produces a third idea.
At the end of the day, you are solely responsible for your success and your failure. And the sooner you realize that, you accept that, and integrate that into your work ethic, you will start being successful. As long as you blame others for the reason you aren’t where you want to be, you will always be a failure.
I know of nothing more valuable, when it comes to the all-important virtue of authenticity, than simply being who you are.
The paradox of education is precisely this – that as one begins to become conscious one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated.
Art is magic delivered from the lie of being truth.
Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.
Single women have a dreadful propensity for being poor. Which is one very strong argument in favor of matrimony.
Being brave enough to just be unapologetic for who you are, that’s a goddess.
A true community is not just about being geographically close to someone or part of the same social web network. It’s about feeling connected and responsible for what happens. Humanity is our ultimate community, and everyone plays a crucial role.
The only way to avoid being miserable is not to have enough leisure to wonder whether you are happy or not.
I enjoy being active; it’s part of my lifestyle.
Great things come out of being hungry and cold. Once you’re pampered, you get lazy.
A lot of people told me I should be quiet about being bisexual and not say anything, but for me this is a part of my identity.
I have made it a rule of my life to trust a man long after other people gave him up, but I don’t see how I can ever trust any human being again.
Loneliness expresses the pain of being alone and solitude expresses the glory of being alone.
People don’t realize what’s really going on in this country. There are a lot things that are going on that are unjust. People aren’t being held accountable for. And that’s something that needs to change. That’s something that this country stands for: freedom, liberty and justice for all.
Everybody is a hypocrite. You can’t live on this planet without being a hypocrite.
