We learn the inner secret of happiness when we learn to direct our inner drives our interest and our attention to something besides ourselves.

My happiness grows in direct proportion to my acceptance and in inverse proportion to my expectations.

Wealth like happiness is never attained when sought after directly. It comes as a by-product of providing a useful service.

Happiness is a direction not a place.

I speak directly to the people and I know that the people of California want to have better leadership. They want to have great leadership. They want to have somebody that will represent them. And it doesn't matter if you're a Democrat or a Republican young or old.

Without a trace of irony I can say I have been blessed with brilliant enemies. I owe them a great debt because they redoubled my energies and drove me in new directions.

The great thing in the world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving.

Like me the great majority of Americans wish both to preserve the traditional definition of marriage and to oppose bias and intolerance directed towards gays and lesbians.

I decided to run for governor because I got mad... I want to make government more directly accountable to the people.

All the measures of the Government are directed to the purpose of making the rich richer and the poor poorer.

Thankfully due to the United Kingdom and the commitment of the Westminster government we are able to ensure that money brought in whether it be from the City of London or from North Sea oil can be pooled and directed to wherever it is needed most. That is what being in the United Kingdom is all about.

Now in New Jersey we have more government workers per square mile than any state in America. But since I've been governor we now have fewer people on the state payroll at any time since Christie Whitman left office in January 2001. That's the right direction Mr. President not the wrong direction.

Women ought to have representatives instead of being arbitrarily governed without any direct share allowed them in the deliberations of government.

Under the administration of George W. Bush you will recall federal spending grew pretty significantly. At the same time the number of people directly employed by the federal government shrank. One of the factors that explained the difference was contracting.

I'd rather entrust the government of the United States to the first 400 people listed in the Boston telephone directory than to the faculty of Harvard University.

The stories that I want to tell especially as a director don't necessarily have a perfect ending because the older you get the more you appreciate a good day versus a happy ending. You understand that life continues on the next day the reality of things is what happens tomorrow.

Always do good to others. Be selfless. Mentally remove everything and be free. This is divine life. This is the direct way to Moksha or salvation.

I've run into some S.O.B. directors but I gave them back as good as I got.

I've turned down jobs because I've said 'Honestly I can't find my way in. I can't do it. I love you as a director. I think the script is good. You deserve better than I think I can do.'

The good life is a process not a state of being. It is a direction not a destination.

Great ambition is the passion of a great character. Those endowed with it may perform very good or very bad acts. All depends on the principles which direct them.

In feature films the director is God in documentary films God is the director.

Behold a worthy sight to which the God turning his attention to his own work may direct his gaze. Behold an equal thing worthy of a God a brave man matched in conflict with evil fortune.

God who is eternally complete who directs the stars who is the master of fates who elevates man from his lowliness to Himself who speaks from the cosmos to every single human soul is the most brilliant manifestation of the goal of perfection.
