Henri Bergson

The unexamined life is not worth living.

It is impossible to defeat an ignorant man in argument.

If you really understand Zen, you can use any book, even the dictionary, because the sound of the rain needs no translation.

If you get good at what you do, part of getting there is enjoying what other players do.

2 is not equal to 3, not even for large values of 2.

The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.

We are proud to have a platform through the Dr Phil show and the Dr. Phil Foundation to offer children the voice they need to meet their goals in having a better life.

Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.

You can never get enough of what you don’t really need.

The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you’ve got it made.

The personal life deeply lived always expands into truths beyond itself.

Let us not forget: I didn’t just wake up First Lady… I mean, I went to law school, I practised law, I worked for the city, I ran a nonprofit (and) I was an executive at a hospital. I’ve been in the world. I’ve worked in every sector, and you don’t do that without coming up against some stuff. You know, having your feelings hurt, having people say things about you that aren’t true… Life hits you, so over the course of living, you learn how to protect yourself in it. You learn to take in what you need and get rid of the stuff that’s clearly not true.

[on Diana’s Death] I remember just feeling completely numb, disorientated, dizzy.

It was like being in the eye of a hurricane. You’d wake up in a concert and think, Wow, how did I get here?
