My definition of success is to live your life in a way that causes you to feel a ton of pleasure and very little pain - and because of your lifestyle have the people around you feel a lot more pleasure than they do pain.

I really haven't had that exciting of a life. There are a lot of things I wish I would have done instead of just sitting around and complaining about having a boring life. So I pretty much like to make it up. I'd rather tell a story about somebody else.

True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life ourselves and the world around us.

Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you and you'll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life and you'll find that you have more of it.

It's the game of life. Do I win or do I lose? One day they're gonna shut the game down. I gotta have as much fun and go around the board as many times as I can before it's my turn to leave.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch a smile a kind word a listening ear an honest compliment or the smallest act of caring all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

I think I've discovered the secret of life - you just hang around until you get used to it.

Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.

We should not blur the lines between legal and illegal immigrants. Millions of people around the world have gone through the process to come here legally and they followed the rules that required them to pay a fee learn English and learn about American history and government.

Each day each one of us chooses not to do many things that would be legal but offensive to those around us.

I support legal immigration. I don't support amnesty because it is not fair to people standing in line at consulates around the world.

I also urge the Obama administration - both on its own and in cooperation with other responsible governments around the world - to use all legal means necessary to shut down WikiLeaks before it can do more damage by releasing additional cables. WikiLeaks' activities represent a shared threat to collective international security.

The Supreme Court ruled that disabled golfer Casey Martin has a legal right to ride in a golf cart between shots at PGA Tour events. Man the next thing you know they're going to have some guy carry his clubs around for him.

In my role as Wikileaks editor I've been involved in fighting off many legal attacks. To do that and keep our sources safe we have had to spread assets encrypt everything and move telecommunications and people around the world to activate protective laws in different national jurisdictions.

I'm learning a lot how to be good at what I do and also how lucky I am and take it all in and be grateful for all this late in life success I've been having and it's good to have people that have been around and successful for awhile and work with them and see how they behave and it's why they are who they are and why they're still successful.

I like working solo and it was a lot of fun joking around with the audience saying things. I'm only just learning how to do certain things.

I make personal appearances around the country. I'm starting a book tour now and I may be coming to Toronto with the Learning Annex which I'm doing all through the United States so that may come up just before Christmas.

I'm social and I meet people and talk to people but I'm not looking for the ideal person to fit my mold and to raise my family with yet. I'm just kind of doing my thing and learning from the people I'm around and who I cross paths with.

I opened my own restaurant when I was 17. I went broke then traveled around the country learning about different kinds of foods had three other restaurants that went broke. It didn't all start just a few years ago!

I met a lot of young girls modelling and they were like 'Oh I'm running around town and people are taking my picture' while I was saving receipts and learning how to be self-employed.

What keeps you confident in a healthy way is knowing that everyone else around you is going to support you and teach you and you're going to learn from them. I just feel open to learning from people.

If you look at the opening of 'Private Ryan ' you are so in the point of view of those guys and there is a whole world swirling all around them. You are learning that geography as they are learning it.

When I was first learning songs I'd have a favorite song and I'd take the chords and twist them around. I'd learn the chords and then play them backward. That was my first experimenting with writing a song.

Women have to harness their power - its absolutely true. It's just learning not to take the first no. And if you can't go straight ahead you go around the corner.
