Sting

If "Manners maketh man," as someone saidThen he's the hero of the dayIt takes a man to suffer ignorance and smileBe yourself, no matter what they

If we seek solace in the prisons of the distant pastSecurity in human systems we're told will always always lastEmotions are the sail and blind faith is the mastWithout the breath of real freedom we're getting nowhere

I can't really change my life to accommodate people who are jealous. I don't see why I should.

I have been through various fitness regimes. I used to run about five miles a day and I did aerobics for a while.

One of the rewards of success is freedom, the ability to do whatever you like.

It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile.

Success always necessitates a degree of ruthlessness. Given the choice of friendship or success, I'd probably choose success.

When the world is running down, you make the best of what's still around.

I'm not much of a family man. I'm just not that into it. I love kids, I adore them, but I don't want to live my life for them.

I want to get old gracefully. I want to have good posture, I want to be healthy and be an example to my children.

There's no religion but sex and music.

I hate most of what constitutes rock music, which is basically middle-aged crap.

I see music as one language. If one musical form eats its own tail, it dies. So it needs to be a mongrel, it needs to be hybridised.

Yoga is almost like music in a way there's no end to it.

The acceptance of death gives you more of a stake in life, in living life happily, as it should be lived. Living for the moment.

I was famous overnight. I went from nowhere to being really big.

I do my best work when I am in pain and turmoil.

Love is stronger than justice.
