This kind of holy envy comes with its own safeguard. Although I am allowed to admire what is growing in the well-tended fields of my religious neighbors, I am not allowed to pull off the road and help myself. The things I envy have their own terroir, their own long histories of weather and fertilization. They do not exist to serve me, improve me, or profit me.

We need to, you know, restore people. We need to show mercy. I mean, because as much mercy as you show people, that's the mercy you're going to be receiving.

I like my decisions to be taken carefully, so they don't harm anyone close to me, so that the people close to me are happy.

I don't mean to criticize anyone in any way that I wouldn't criticize myself. I think people should have fun, and have a good time, and enjoy the luck that we have to be lazy and dwell in consumerism. But I think that it's a balance. And our job as actors is empathy.

I like having fun, but the most important thing is to be as good a person as you can be.

Let your heart feel for the afflictions and distress of everyone.

Fashion is mysterious, as a rule. Why are blue jeans a classic? You just hit on something that happens to be timeless and right.

If you want to lead, you better love people. Even if you don't like them, you have to love them enough to tell them the truth.

Before a game, you know, I can take off my helmet, run over there and spend a few moments with someone who is dealing with so much more than I've ever had to deal with and to love on them and care about them and in front of thousands and thousands of people, you know, let them know that they're more important than all of this.

Today we affirm a new commitment to live out our nation's promise through civility, courage, compassion and character.

I really admire people who are extraordinarily tolerant and patient.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience. —GALATIANS 5:22
