Having a clear faith based on the creed of the church is often labeled today as fundamentalism. Whereas relativism which is letting oneself be tossed and swept along by every wind of teaching look like the only attitude acceptable to today's standards.
I think whether you're having setbacks or not the role of a leader is to always display a winning attitude.
Having a positive mental attitude is asking how something can be done rather than saying it can't be done.
Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life.
There is nothing Sir too little for so little a creature as man. It is by studying little things that we attain the great art of having as little misery and as much happiness as possible.
I think having land and not ruining it is the most beautiful art that anybody could ever want to own.
No great art has ever been made without the artist having known danger.
Surely all art is the result of one's having been in danger of having gone through an experience all the way to the end where no one can go any further.
Even in literature and art no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will nine times out of ten become original without ever having noticed it.
The chances of a reunion now are less likely. I was thinking of having a 40th anniversary of the band but now they are really another band so it's all a bit weird.
I've been trying to learn how to not be so conflicted about things like my own anger. I've always had a place in my music for my anger as a way of compensating for not having a mechanism to express it in my everyday life. So I've been trying to be more true to myself and that helps me to chill out a little bit. But politically uh-uh. No.
Growing up in a particular neighborhood growing up in a working-class family not having much money all of those things fire you and can give you an edge can give you an anger.
As far as having peace within myself the one way I can do that is forgiving the people who have done wrong to me. It causes more stress to build up anger. Peace is more productive.
Having my first number one single and being able to travel to places I've never been before has been amazing. The tour was also fantastic. There are so many things which I've experienced this year which I never even dreamed of.
There were two things going on: 1) I had already established in my own mind where I wanted to go with the next series and having James around as a Grey Eminence would have complicated matters. He had had an amazing life and it was time to bid him good-bye.
I'm having a great time. I get to travel and see the world. And yeah I'll have a family because I don't want to miss out on that amazing experience but it's not defining who I am.
I was given such a great gift. It's a miracle that never stops amazing me and reminding me to give thanks every day. Having a wife and daughter gives me a lot more purpose. I was much more selfish before but now I think about what kind of role model I'll be. I just want to be a better man.
What's great about TV and what I love about being on 'Parenthood ' is you have this family. I'm now going on four years of working with the same 100 people and that helps you feel like your life has more roots. It's more conducive to having a family and you're staying in town. So that part is amazing.
One of the most amazing things I got from the film so much green screen there are so many moments and it really taught me about how important it is to have an intention when flying when going somewhere and having an intention.
But it's amazing how many people think that gay men should slink off into the shadows when it comes to having friendships with children.
As an actor to have achieved financial stability is amazing. But I always have this weird fear that I'm not going to get any more work it's about not having enough money.
For me I don't expect to have a really amazing meal each time I dine out. Having a good meal with your loved ones - that's what makes the experience.
There is something about the South that accepts the supernatural. If you don't accept it and you're having a conversation with someone who does it's just one of those polite things where you don't question their belief in ghosts. You just go 'Oh yeah okay.' It's amazing to be able to have conversations like that.
Birdie is amazing and such an incredible child and I'm having such a great time being a mom but I still want to have a career and I still look forward to auditions and parts and when I don't get them I'm disappointed.
