1. A good objective of leadership is to help those who are doing poorly to do well and to help those who are doing well to do even better.

3. Better understated than overstated. Let people be surprised that it was more than you promised and easier than you said.

8. Effective communication is 20% what you know and 80% how you feel about what you know.

9. Either you run the day or the day runs you.

10. Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. You don’t fail overnight. Instead, failure is a few errors in judgement, repeated every day.

She began playing small roles in films in 1949 and eventually achieved prominence as the star of Lift to the Scaffold (UK)/Elevator to the Gallows (USA) (1958), directed by Louis Malle and Jules et Jim (1962), directed by François Truffaut. Most prolific during the 1960s, Moreau continues to appear in films to the present day.

1. Aging gracefully is supposed to mean trying not to hide time passing and just looking a wreck. Don’t worry girls, look like a wreck, that’s the way it goes.

2. All those vitamins aren’t to keep death at bay, they’re to keep deterioration at bay.

3. As a matter of principle, I always come to a film like a blank slate, I don’t learn my lines in advance. With this approach, I feel clean.

4. Acting deals with very delicate emotions. It is not putting up a mask. Each time an actor acts he does not hide; he exposes himself.

5. I don’t think success is harmful, as so many people say. Rather, I believe it indispensable to talent, if for nothing else than to increase the talent.

6. As long as you don’t make waves, ripples, life seems easy. But that’s condemning yourself to impotence and death before you are dead.

10. Death is an absolute mystery. We are all vulnerable to it, it’s what makes life interesting and suspenseful.

11. I am subject to very powerful lows. When you have highs, you have terrible lows. When you pinpoint that you are responsible for everything that happens to you, it is very frightening.

12. I can’t belong to groups. I’ve tried. I behave normally, but people don’t look at me normally.

13. I don’t feel guilt. Whatever I wish to do, I do.

14. I don’t like going where I’ve already been. Life is a myriad of territories to discover. I don’t want to waste time with what I already know.

15. I don’t like the idea of separating life and work. That notion seems dated and a bit alien to me.

16. I’m always amazed when young women who are having babies want their husbands to watch the babies come out. I would never allow anything like that.

17. If you get trapped in the idea that what is most important is what image of yourself you’re giving to the world, you’re on a dangerous path.

18. If you want to live your life through to the end, you have to live dangerously.

20. My aim in life is not to judge.

21. My face has changed with the years and has enough history in it to give audiences something to work with.

22. My life is very exciting now. Nostalgia for what? It’s like climbing a staircase. I’m on the top of the staircase, I look behind and see the steps. That’s where I was. We’re here right now. Tomorrow, we’ll be someplace else. So why nostalgia?

23. One thing you have to give up is attaching importance to what people see in you.

24. People’s opinions don’t interfere with me.

Allen’s books illustrate the use of the power of thought to increase personal capabilities. Although he never achieved great fame or wealth, his works continue to influence people around the world, including the New Thought movement.

Allen’s most famous book, As a Man Thinketh, was published in 1902. It is now considered a classic self-help book. Its underlying premise is that noble thoughts make a noble person, while lowly thoughts make a miserable person.

Although As a Man Thinketh is Allen’s most widely recognised book, it is probably The Way of Peace (1907) which most accurately reflects his New Thought movement affiliations.

Following his death in 1912, his wife continued publishing the magazine under the name, The Epoch.
