“The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen.”

“What a silly thing love is! It is not half as useful as logic, for it does not prove anything and it is always telling one things that are not going to happen, and making one believe things that are not true.”

“There is nothing that should lead you to expect bastardry of that magnitude. Hard things happen; a hard thing happened to Malcolm Turnbull, a hard thing happened to Bob Hawke, a hard thing happened Kim Beazley, a hard thing happened to Kevin Rudd, a hard thing happened to me. You can still make choices on how you conduct yourself.”

“Always ask for what you want, because the worst thing that can happen is embarrassment but the best thing that can happen is nudity.”

“In real life, as well as in experiments, people can come to believe things that never really happened.”

“The hard things in life, the things you really learn from, happen with a clear mind.”

“Don't you know that what happens to you once always happens again? You always react in the same way to the same thing. It's no accident when you make a mess. Then you do it again. It's called destiny.”

“Believe good things will happen and they will.”

“But I believe good things happen everyday. I believe good things happen even when bad things happen. And I believe on a happy day like today, we can still feel a little sad. And that's life, isn't it?”

“If you work really hard, and you're kind, amazing things will happen.”
