Paul Newman Giving Quotations

The best gift you can give yourself is the gift of possibility.

The best thing you can give yourselves...is the gift of possibility. And the best thing you can give each other is the pledge to go on protecting that gift in each other as long as you live.

Make sure you live life, which means don't do things where you court celebrity, and give something positive back to our society.

The best can turn out to be awful and the worst can be fantastic. Cooking is like performing and performing like cooking.
