Be open minded like the sky. Be accepting like the ocean. Be loving like a flower.

You hear with your ears, but you listen with an open mind.

I liked making people laugh, and I decided I was an atheist early on. My Dad was all right with that. We argued about it all the time, but it was good-natured. He was the most open-minded human being I've ever known.

There are certain moments in life of open-minded people...Which really make them hard not to believe in the existence of heaven.

Distance gives a clearer view. You can't see the facade of a building while staying inside.

Sometimes your belief system is really your fears attached to rules.

Happiness is always on the other side of being teachable.

My model for Kirk was Horatio Hornblower from the C.S. Forester sea stories. Shatner was open-minded about science fiction and a marvelous choice.

My beautiful friend,even on your darkest day I have benefited from the warmth of your light. And I know I’m not the only one. Even when you are not consciously giving, you are still giving so much. With your openness, your kindness, your understanding. See yourself through my eyes, for just a moment. Feel yourself through my heart.Allow me the honor of reflecting back to you the love you have shown me, time and again, when it was only real love, and real friendship that could have pulled me from the pain. Let me take some of your pain now. I am here. I am yours. You are mine, my friend. I am grateful.

Remain open-minded, even when you believe yourself to be a king among peasants. You never know what blessings can be gained or crises averted just by listening.
