Tony Robbins
The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.

Nothing is harder to direct than a man in prosperity; nothing more easily managed that one is adversity.
Plutarch
The charms of the passing woman are generally in direct proportion to the swiftness of her passing.
Marcel Proust
We do not learn by inference and deduction and the application of mathematics to philosophy, but by direct intercourse and sympathy.
Richard M. Nixon
It is wise to direct your anger towards problems - not people; to focus your energies on answers - not excuses.
William Arthur Ward
And new Philosophy calls all in doubt, the element of fire is quite put out; the Sun is lost, and the earth, and no mans wit can well direct him where to look for it.
John Donne
Anybody can direct, but there are only eleven good writers.
Mel Brooks
I only direct in self-defense.
Mel Brooks
