I was very worried about my mother, growing up – a lot. I do not want my children to be worried about me.

We never love a person, but only qualities.

Parentage is a very important profession, but no test of fitness for it is ever imposed in the interest of the children.

I certainly know that I would not be able to survive if it were not for the fact that I am being upheld by the prayers of so many people.

Children are a wonderful gift. They have an extraordinary capacity to see into the heart of things and to expose sham and humbug for what they are.

Adultery is the application of democracy to love.

Only in the agony of parting do we look into the depths of love.

These technologies can make life easier, can let us touch people we might not otherwise. You may have a child with a birth defect and be able to get in touch with other parents and support groups, get medical information, the latest experimental drugs. These things can profoundly influence life. I’m not downplaying that.

If my mother knew I did this for a living, she’d kill me. She thinks I’m selling dope.

My parents weren’t actors or studio executives.

I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.

Just like every person who works for Dortmund is a fan of the club, it was the same at Mainz. When I was a player there, we had 800 supporters on rainy Saturday afternoons, and if we died, no one would notice or come to our funeral. But we loved the club, and we have this same feeling at Dortmund.

There is nothing I love as much as a good fight.

It is much more secure to be feared than to be loved.

Because of a great love, one is courageous.

My sorrow, when she’s here with me, thinks these dark days of autumn rain are beautiful as days can be; she loves the bare, the withered tree; she walks the sodden pasture lane.

My mother was Catholic, my father was Protestant. There was always a debate going on at home – I think in those days we called them arguments – about who was right and who was wrong.

Coming generations will learn equality from poverty, and love from woes.

As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.

What spectacle can be more edifying or more seasonable, than that of Liberty and Learning, each leaning on the other for their mutual and surest support?

Two such as you with such a master speed, cannot be parted nor be swept away, from one another once you are agreed, that life is only life forevermore, together wing to wing and oar to oar.

My friend has a baby. I’m recording all the noises he makes so later I can ask him what he meant.

If Christ has died for me, ungodly as I am, without strength as I am, then I cannot live in sin any longer, but must arouse myself to love and serve Him who has redeemed me.

I always thought money was something just to make me happy. But I’ve learned that I feel better being able to help my folks, ‚cause we never had nothing. So just to see them excited about my career is more of a blessing than me actually having it for myself.

I think tolerance and acceptance and love is something that feeds every community.

If you’re not careful to think and speak words of faith, worry will creep in, and it will not only steal your peace and joy, it will steal your ‚today.‘ The present is the greatest gift God ever gives us. So hold on to the peace that’s yours in Christ. Don’t let it go.

I used to worry about every little thing, trying to figure out every problem. Well, I realize now how foolish that was. I was no more in control of my life than the man on the moon.

My parents were both born in Virginia, of undistinguished families – second families, perhaps I should say.

There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage.

When I was growing up, my family was so poor we couldn’t afford to pay attention.

Family home evening is more for the purpose of teaching values and gospel principles, displaying talents and enjoying different kinds of family fun and activities.

At the age of 6, a teacher full of ambitions, who taught in the small public school of Biran, convinced my family that I should travel to Santiago de Cuba to accompany my older sister who would enter a highly prestigious convent school. Including me was a skill of that very teacher from the little school in Biran.

I would like to see people more aware of where their food comes from. I would like to see small farmers empowered. I feed my daughter almost exclusively organic food.

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

Only on paper has humanity yet achieved glory, beauty, truth, knowledge, virtue, and abiding love.

My understanding of the Scriptures has been made simple by the person of Christ. Christ teaches that God is love.

We believed in our idea – a family park where parents and children could have fun- together.

I love everything about my job, except being away from the kids.

I imagine I will be less involved in film and be focused more on family and foreign affairs.

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.

Acting is just a way of making a living, the family is life.

I doubt that the Lord cares much which honorable vocation you choose. But He does care if you love one another and serve one another.

People have told me, ‚You shouldn’t bring your daughter onto the podium, ‚cause it’s the workplace,‘ and things like that. But I’m not gonna really listen to that. I’m gonna do what I think is fun for me and my family, and everything’ll be all right.

Every great person is always being helped by everybody; for their gift is to get good out of all things and all persons.

I want a president who will teach our children that everyone in this country matters, a president who truly believes in the vision that our Founders put forth all those years ago that we are all created equal, each a beloved part of the great American story.

When you’re around the kids, you feel like you act the most grown up just because you’re supposed to lead. I say things, like every other parent, that reminds you of your own parents. One thing I do know about being a parent, you understand why your father was in a bad mood a lot.

Our lifestyle was not in any way a negative. That was not the problem. That is and will remain one of the wonderful opportunities we are able to give our children.

I was born on a full moon. Both my children were born on full moons, too. Some people say that’s scary. It is what it is, man, I don’t be trippin‘. I couldn’t tell God when I wanted to be born.

As a former resident with strong personal and ministry ties to the North Star State, I pray that the good people of Minnesota will show their support for God’s definition of marriage, between a man and a woman.

Our fatigue is often caused not by work, but by worry, frustration and resentment.

The CIA is made up of boys whose families sent them to Princeton but wouldn’t let them into the family brokerage business.

As I grow up, the lessons I learn in love and relationships and how we treat each other are hopefully maturing – hopefully.

Love is a gross exaggeration of the difference between one person and everybody else.

Though lovers be lost, love shall not.

When people are around us, they should leave better off than they were previously. Rather than feeling discouraged or defeated, people should feel challenged and inspired after spending any time with you and me.

For me, one of the toughest things about Valentine’s Day is that it gets geared up as the day to profess your love. See, T-E-S-T – that’s a bad word that doesn’t go with L-O-V-E.

We really have to understand the person we want to love. If our love is only a will to possess, it is not love. If we only think of ourselves, if we know only our own needs and ignore the needs of the other person, we cannot love.

The Tao teaches us not to intervene and interfere. The things we love we have to learn to leave alone. And the people we love we have to learn to let them be.

Human beings must be known to be loved; but Divine beings must be loved to be known.

I don’t travel with them, but they can’t be missing in my home. There have to always be dominoes… I used to play with my family – dad, my grandpa, my uncles.
