It’s a lot easier to stay idealistic if you don’t sign two to five next-of-kin letters every day.

I spend a lot of time just, you know, with my girlfriend and my dog. And I mean, we don’t have a lot of furniture in our house, so it’s really simple. And we’re trying to build products for everyone in the world, right. And you don’t want to get isolated to do that.

Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong.

All good leaders are connectors. They relate well and make people feel confident about themselves and their leader.

I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.

The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.

The fellow that can only see a week ahead is always the popular fellow, for he is looking with the crowd. But the one that can see years ahead, he has a telescope but he can’t make anybody believe that he has it.

I have learned not to worry about love; but to honor its coming with all my heart.

It may be the part of a friend to rebuke a friend’s folly.

In terms of the legal matter of creating a contract between two people that’s called marriage, and allowing them to live together with the protection of law, it seems to me is the way we should be moving in this country.

Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other’s eyes for an instant?

When I was a boy we didn’t wake up with Vietnam and have Cyprus for lunch and the Congo for dinner.

We have one planet in our solar system that’s habitable, and that’s the Earth, and space travel can transform things back here for the better. First of all, by just having people go to space and look back on this fragile planet we live on. People have come back transformed and have done fantastic things.

It is a narrow mind which cannot look at a subject from various points of view.

By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, you’ll become happy; if you get a bad one, you’ll become a philosopher.

Sure, I can get a little bit jealous. The good part about jealousy is that it comes from passion. It’s also the dangerous part and it’s an ugly emotion that hurts.

I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts.

As to marriage or celibacy, let a man take which course he will, he will be sure to repent.

I’m astounded by people who want to ‚know‘ the universe when it’s hard enough to find your way around Chinatown.

The only way to get love is to be lovable. It’s very irritating if you have a lot of money. You’d like to think you could write a check: ‚I’ll buy a million dollars‘ worth of love.‘ But it doesn’t work that way. The more you give love away, the more you get.

Jealousy is just love and hate at the same time.
