We smile at the ignorance of the savage who cuts down the tree in order to reach its fruit but the same blunder is made by every person who is over eager and impatient in the pursuit of pleasure.

The catch phrase for the day is 'Do an act of kindness. Help one person smile.'

I don't mind a little Sturm und Drang. When I was doing 'Riding in Cars With Boys ' I wouldn't smile at anybody because my character Bev was angry at the world. I'm the opposite. Inside my head I'd be like God I'll explain to you at the end of shooting that I'm not this person.

What do I like in a girl? I like a girl that likes me a girl that knows how to smile and see the bright side of things. A girl that makes me a better person.

The person that's always talkin' you don't have to worry about that person. The person that while you're in his face he's just lookin' at you with a smile on his face that's the guy you worry about.

A smile is the light in your window that tells others that there is a caring sharing person inside.

My personal feeling about science fiction is that it's always in some way connected to the real world to our everyday world.

There are relatively few science fiction or fantasy books with the main character being an old person.

I do not think we are ever going to be able to for a long time get the kind of quality of school personnel that we need in our schools especially in the areas of science and math. One of the answers to that problem is to use more educational technology.

A person that much interested in science is going to neglect his social life somewhat but not completely because that isn't healthy either. So one has to work it out according to one's own inclinations how one wants to proportion these things.

My personal conviction is that science is concerned wholly with truth not with ethics.

Acceptance of the power of God in one's life lays the groundwork for personal commitment to both science and Christianity which so often have been in conflict.

In science we must be interested in things not in persons.

'A Bug's Life' is a really funny movie and the characters have such different personalities. The movie is happy and then gets really sad and I'm like W'hoa I'm feeling this way and this movie is about bugs!'

I'm not a sad person upset the whole time but I seem to be quite emotional.

What I loved about the acting class was that you got to think all day long about a person that wasn't you and figure out why they were sad and what they wanted what they dreamed.

I've grown as a person. The dynamics on this set are very demanding because we work a lot of hours it's very sad material so there's always someone upset because it's really heavy stuff.

Elaine is just in pain. I think Elaine has become very very sad woman. She is someone who is in deep need of many hours of analysis and I like to think that I'm not that type of person.

It's a sad indication of where Washington has come where policy differences almost necessarily become questions of integrity. I came to Washington in the late '70s and people had the ability in the past to have intense policy differences but didn't feel the need to question the other person's character.

If I can procure three hundred good substantial names of persons or bodies or institutions I cannot fail to do well for my family although I must abandon my life to its success and undergo many sad perplexities and perhaps never see again my own beloved America.

It's always sad if anybody you know has a personal problem.

But I'm not like sad depressed miserable person. I guess sometimes I give off that impression.

The sad thing is that I feel so boring because 'Twilight' is literally how every conversation I have these days begins - whether it's someone I'm meeting for the first time or someone I just haven't seen in a while. The first thing I want to say to them is 'It's insane! And as a person I can't do anything!'

People say you should read your criticism because it will make you a better person but it doesn't. It just makes you a sad bitter old showbiz nightmare.
