Trying to meet new women, it’s always a little more difficult as opposed to calling somebody I knew that’s single and trying to rebuild that connection.

What can I say? I’m a talker.

To be social is to be forgiving.

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

Here’s what I’ve learned about deal-breakers. If you have enough natural chemistry with someone, you overlook every single thing that you said would break the deal.

Kindness in women, not their beauteous looks, shall win my love.

There is no lonelier man in death, except the suicide, than that man who has lived many years with a good wife and then outlived her. If two people love each other there can be no happy end to it.

The more I think about it, the more I realize there is nothing more artistic than to love others.

I like my body when it is with your body. It is so quite new a thing. Muscles better and nerves more.

For me, it’s about the way I carry myself and the way I treat other people. My relationship and how I feel about God and what He does for me, is something deeply personal. It’s where I came from, my family, I was brought up in a religious household and that’s very important to me.

Love is blind; friendship closes its eyes.

He who loves 50 people has 50 woes; he who loves no one has no woes.

Do not tell fish stories where the people know you; but particularly, don’t tell them where they know the fish.

The true worth of a man is not to be found in man himself, but in the colours and textures that come alive in others.

If you treat people right they will treat you right… ninety percent of the time.

There was one incident at a movie theater where my girl got mad at these guys who were talking behind us. I never looked back there, but she was like, ‚Will you all just shut up!‘ And I just got up and moved three rows in front. She was like, ‚What are you doing?!‘ I was like, ‚You better get up here! I don’t play the fighting games.‘

Marriage is a wonderful institution, but who would want to live in an institution?

Trust is the glue of life. It’s the most essential ingredient in effective communication. It’s the foundational principle that holds all relationships.

Friends are thieves of time.

Consider the fellow. He never spends his time telling you about his previous night’s date. You get the idea he has eyes only for you and wouldn’t think of looking at another woman.

Marriage is the death of hope.

The way you see people is the way you treat them, and the way you treat them is what they become.

The world is round so that friendship may encircle it.

Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness.

Men get to be a mixture of the charming mannerisms of the women they have known.

Be slow to fall into friendship; but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.

Love has reasons which reason cannot understand.

Self-interest is the enemy of all true affection.

If I think too hard about a relationship, I’ll talk myself out of it.

A man’s growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

Why should it be essential to love rarely in order to love much?

Never injure a friend, even in jest.

A woman will doubt everything you say except it be compliments to herself.

My dad was the town drunk. Most of the time that’s not so bad; but New York City?

I like persons better than principles, and I like persons with no principles better than anything else in the world.

The deep, personal material of the latter half of your life is your children. You can write about your parents when they’re gone, but your children are still going to be here, and you’re going to want them to come and visit you in the nursing home.

Knavery and flattery are blood relations.

Really, who you are is defined by the people who you know – not even the people that you know, but the people you spend time with and the people that you love and the people that you work with. I guess we show your friends in your profile, but that’s kind of different from the information you put in your profile.

When I found somebody who I fell in love with, it made me feel different than I felt the rest of the day. It was electrifying. That’s what inspired the ‚Off to the Races‘ melodies. That’s one of the times when you’re feeling electrified by someone else and they make you happy to be alive.

My greatest blessing has been the birth of my son. My next greatest blessing has been my ability to turn people into children of mine.

The man who loves other countries as much as his own stands on a level with the man who loves other women as much as he loves his own wife.

I love us so incredibly, insanely deeply; it’s almost unbearable to see what we do to ourselves.

I’ve learned that usually, the less I know about other people, the better off I am.

I think I have a certain respect for people, you know. And I guess a lot of times I expect that respect to go both ways.

You can write a song about being in love with someone, but you don’t have to be in love with anyone.

My wife doesn’t even want to spend 2 hours with me.

Every man needs slaves like he needs clean air. To rule is to breathe, is it not? And even the most disenfranchised get to breathe. The lowest on the social scale have their spouses or their children.

When you love someone, the best thing you can offer is your presence. How can you love if you are not there?

Always make those above you feel comfortably superior. In your desire to please or impress them, do not go too far in displaying your talents or you might accomplish the opposite – inspire fear and insecurity.

Never be the only one, except, possibly, in your own home.

You can’t have a relationship with a device whose limits are unknown to you, because without limits, it keeps becoming something else.

Normally, when someone we love is turning away from a struggle, we self-protect by also turning away. That’s definitely my first response. I think change is more likely to happen if both partners have common language and a shared lens to see problems.

The relationship to one’s fellow man is the relationship of prayer, the relationship to oneself is the relationship of striving; it is from prayer that one draws the strength for one’s striving.

I make decisions all day, so it’s nice for a woman like me to go to dinner and have the man take the menu and say, ‚Let me order.‘ Other women would be offended by that, but I’m like, ‚Good. Because I can’t make one more decision today.‘ I want someone to rub my feet without being asked.

Do I not destroy my enemies when I make them my friends?

Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

Plain women know more about men than beautiful women do.

I married my best friend that happens to be a girl.

No woman ever hates a man for being in love with her, but many a woman hate a man for being a friend to her.

We’re not trying to make you less of a man. We just want you to love us as deeply and as wholesomely and as fully as we love you.

My wife and I love each other very much.
