Secret griefs are more cruel than public calamities.

A man who really fights for justice must lead a private, not a public, life if he is to survive for even a short time.

Love is a private thing. The world does not need to know.

It has always been my vision to be scandal free, keeping my private life away from my public life. Appreciate me for my movies and what you see on screen, but my life is my life. I treasure that and I just want to keep it that way.

I want my personal life to be personal... And I don't care if you're talking about things that are true, you're still talking about my personal life.

My private life is quiet.

The Three Lives We all lead three lives: our public life, our private life, and our deep inner life. Our public life takes place in a community setting, where we interact with others. Our private life is away from the public — we may be alone, with a friend, or with family members. But our deep inner life is our most significant life. It is where our heart is. It’s where we have the capacity to explore our own motives, to examine our own thoughts and desires, and to analyze our problems and our needs. We can go into this deep private life — we could call it a secret life — even when we are in a public or a private setting. Our secret life is where we are able to tap into the power of the four human endowments: self-awareness, conscience, imagination, and independent will. When you are dealing with the development of a personal mission statement, you need to go into the deep inner or secret life, which influences the other two. It is the part of you where you decide the most fundamental issues of your life. As the psalmist put it: “Search your own heart with all diligence, for out of it flows the issues of your life.” It truly is a secret life. No one knows the thoughts and intents of your heart. You alone have that awareness, and you can step in on your own deep inner life; you can examine, explore, and change it. Many people, unless they are in pain because of something they care about that is not being fulfilled, will not go into their deep inner life at all. In a sense, they’re not living. They’re just being lived, publicly and privately.

Love is a private thing; the world does not need to know every detail.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

Anyone who’s really fighting for justice must live as a private citizen and not as a public figure if he’s going to survive even a short time.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. For your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

Life is more important than glory.
