1 Love may not make the world go round, but I must admit that it makes the ride worthwhile. -Sean Connery
If life is a journey, then it is love that makes the journey worthwhile. Love is what makes life endurable and adds beauty to it. One who hasn’t found love hasn’t truly lived yet.
2 Some age, others mature. -Sean Connery
Each day of your life should be spent in growth and maturity. With every passing day, you need to strive to be better than you were yesterday.
3 They say if you resort to violence, then you’ve already lost. -Sean Connery
Violence is never the answer to anything. Violence only breeds more violence. If your answer to a problem is violence or vengeance, then all you are doing is perpetuating the problem.
4 I take the good with the bad, I can’t love people in slices. -Sean Connery
Love means absolute acceptance. You cannot love only the good side of someone. To accept them for what they, including all their flaws and faults, is what love is.
5 Perhaps I’m not a good actor, but I would be even worse at doing anything else. -Sean Connery
You’ll only be good at doing the things that you really love with all your heart. Follow your passion. You may not be the best at it, but you’ll wish to be bad at anything else except your passion.
6 I just think the most difficult thing to displace is privilege. -Sean Connery
The privileged never really realise the privilege that they enjoy. They are conditioned to it so much so that a life of normalcy seems alien and unthinkable to them.
7 There are laws that enslave men, and laws that set them free. -Sean Connery
Laws are meant to give you the freedom to live your life the way you want to. But the laws that deny you your rights are just meant to enslave you to a system of oppression.
8 Your background and environment is with you for life, No question about that. -Sean Connery
Your past and the environment that you are currently surrounded by determine how your future will be. They stay with you till the end and dictate where you’ll reach in life.
9 Laughter kills fear, and without fear there can be no faith, For without fear of the devil there is no need for God. -Sean Connery
Faith cannot exist in the absence of fear. It is fear that feeds faith. Without fear of evil, there would be no faith in the good. They are two sides of the same coin.
10 If America had been discovered as many times as I have, no one would remember Columbus. -Sean Connery
America is a country full of surprises. Everyday of your life there, you’ll discover something new about the country, its people and its culture.
11 I have so many wonderful memories, but those days are over. -Sean Connery
The most tragic thing about life is that the past can never be lived again. All the wonderful memories that you’ve made can never be brought back to life now.
12 You risked your life for another, There is no greater love. -Sean Connery
There is no greater expression of love than when you show the courage to risk your own life for another. Love makes you put the safety and well-being of others before your own.
13 May God grant us the wisdom to discover right, the will to choose it, and the strength to make it endure. -Sean Connery
The ability to see right from wrong, the courage to follow the moral path and the strength to stay on it are the things that you need the most in life. Without these, you’ll never be able to achieve much in life.
14 There is nothing like a challenge to bring out the best in man. -Sean Connery
It is the hardships that you face that bring out the best in you. All your best qualities are revealed when you decide to face and overcome the challenges life throws at you.
15 But in the end, retirement is just too much fun. -Sean Connery
Retirement is probably the best part of our career for most of us.You do not have to concern yourself with having to work five days a week. You can go back to living a life of leisure and truly enjoy the fruits of your success.
