All things are difficult before they are easy.
Silent gratitude isn't much use to anyone.
I wrote myself a check for ten million dollars for acting services rendered and dated it Thanksgiving 1995. I put it in my wallet and it deteriorated. And then, just before Thanksgiving 1995, I found out I was going to make ten million dollars for Dumb & Dumber. I put that check in the casket with my father because it was our dream together.
I lived what most people call the good life. I was happy, but deep inside I always felt that, with the short amount of time we are given to live and love in this world, we spend too much time loving things instead of people.
As I get older, I've learned to listen to people rather than accuse them of things.
It is not enough to aim; you must hit.
Be thou the first true merit to befriend, his praise is lost who stays till all commend.
