To his dog, every man is Napoleon; hence the constant popularity of dogs.

I’ve got four dogs, and I just don’t do dog doo. I’m a diva when it comes to that.

No one is a friend to his friend who does not love in return.

I’ve seen a look in dogs‘ eyes, a quickly vanishing look of amazed contempt, and I am convinced that basically dogs think humans are nuts.

As a sportsperson, the best thing is people recognising you and loving you for what you do. For me, glamour is 100 people in the hotel feeling happy to see you.

You pay a certain penalty for going your own way. A lot of people think you’re nuts, and you’re not as popular with girls as you should be.

I desire so to conduct the affairs of this administration that if at the end… I have lost every other friend on earth, I shall at least have one friend left, and that friend shall be down inside of me.

People forget that Mozart wrote for commissions. There’s a thing in psychology where they think if it’s popular, it can’t be serious.

I’m an introvert… I love being by myself, love being outdoors, love taking a long walk with my dogs and looking at the trees, flowers, the sky.

I think that most of us would prefer to be popular than unpopular.

I love pets, especially dogs.

It’s much easier to be successful than it is to be relevant. The tricks won’t keep you relevant. Tricks might keep you popular for a while, but in all honesty, I don’t know how U2 will stay relevant. I know we’ve got a future. I know we can fill stadiums. And yet with every record, I think, ‚Is this it? Are we still relevant?‘

When the leaders choose to make themselves bidders at an auction of popularity, their talents, in the construction of the state, will be of no service. They will become flatterers instead of legislators; the instruments, not the guides, of the people.

For many people who are so lost in their minds, so much involved in their thought processes, the only moments they have when they are not trapped in that is when they are relating to their animal, their pet.

Test a servant while in the discharge of his duty, a relative in difficulty, a friend in adversity, and a wife in misfortune.

I am called a dog because I fawn on those who give me anything, I yelp at those who refuse, and I set my teeth in rascals.

Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels – men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. As their heirs, may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion.

Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.

We uploaded ‚Ocean Eyes‘ to SoundCloud, and it started getting a lot of plays pretty much immediately.

If you would have a faithful servant, and one that you like, serve yourself.

It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.

We cannot always assure the future of our friends; we have a better chance of assuring our future if we remember who our friends are.

Writers are lampposts and critics are dogs. Ask lampposts what they think about dogs. Does the dog hurt the lamppost?

Waking up every day and loving someone who may or may not love us back, whose safety we can’t ensure, who may stay in our lives or may leave without a moment’s notice, who may be loyal to the day they die or betray us tomorrow – that’s vulnerability.

Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn’t argue with that; I’m right and I will be proved right. We’re more popular than Jesus now; I don’t know which will go first – rock and roll or Christianity.

Dogs never bite me – just humans.

You don’t have to be scared of me, because I am loyal. Why are people so scared of creative ideas and so scared of truth? All I want to do is do good.

May we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion.

I don’t want to tell President Obama how to make a speech. He’s a much better speech maker than I am. But I think always to tell the truth in a sometimes blatant way, even though it might be temporarily unpopular, is the best approach.

Dogs and philosophers do the greatest good and get the fewest rewards.

Merchants have no country. The mere spot they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains.

To hold a man down, you have to stay down with him.

In fact, my popularity seems almost entirely a masculine phenomenon.

Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.

Who serves his country well has no need of ancestors.

Everything popular is wrong.

Demonstrate to the world, there is ‚No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy‘ than a U.S. Marine.

I didn’t always have 14,000 people wanting to hang out with me on a Saturday night.

Avoid popularity if you would have peace.

I would storm the gates of Hell if Third Marine Air Wing was overhead.

When Nirvana became popular, you could very easily slip and get lost during that storm. I fortunately had really heavy anchors – old friends, family.

I care not much for a man’s religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.

Facebook and Instagram are both really popular with teens, both in the U.S. and globally across the world. I think what you’re starting to see is that there are all these different ways that people want to share and communicate.

If we are marked to die, we are enough to do our country loss; and if to live, the fewer men, the greater share of honor.

Dogs are better than human beings because they know but do not tell.

They died hard, those savage men – like wounded wolves at bay. They were filthy, and they were lousy, and they stunk. And I loved them.

If you want to know who your friends are, get yourself a jail sentence.

Good psychology should include all the methodological techniques, without having loyalty to one method, one idea, or one person.

I was never a boy magnet at school. There was always the girl all the guys liked and wanted to date, but it was never me.

Silence is a true friend who never betrays.

When I put out ‚Video Games‘ in May 2011, it was a 5:25-minute love song; I was surprised when a lot of people said they were listening to it. I was surprised when it went to the radio, without me even knowing how something like that even happens!

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

There are three faithful friends – an old wife, an old dog, and ready money.

There is no friend as loyal as a book.

I did work in a strip club, but I didn’t strip. I danced, and I became very popular.

Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons.

Having a bunch of cats around is good. If you’re feeling bad, you just look at the cats, you’ll feel better because they know that everything is just as it is. There’s nothing to get excited about. They just know. They’re saviours.

If you talk bad about country music, it’s like saying bad things about my momma. Them’s fightin‘ words.

I cannot remember a moment in my life when I have not felt the love of my family. We were a family that would have killed for each other – and we still are.

Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism.

As long as war is regarded as wicked, it will always have its fascination. When it is looked upon as vulgar, it will cease to be popular.
