We have to rediscover the eternal values and then live them out.

I didn’t have any children of my own.

Politics have no relation to morals.

It has always been my belief that a man should do his best, regardless of how much he receives for his services, or the number of people he may be serving or the class of people served.

Gold is good in its place; but loving, brave, patriotic men are better than gold.

Well, we’re living in a material world, and I’m a material girl… or boy.

Make sure of your commitment to Jesus Christ, and seek to follow Him every day. Don’t be swayed by the false values and goals of this world, but put Christ and His will first in everything you do.

Morality is of the highest importance – but for us, not for God.

If you’re not producing as much as you consume, or perhaps a little more, then clearly we cannot use the big organization of our society for the purpose of keeping you alive, because your life does not benefit us, and it can’t be of very much use to yourself.

The just is close to the people’s heart, but the merciful is close to the heart of God.

A bachelor’s life is a fine breakfast, a flat lunch, and a miserable dinner.

I think there are a whole host of things that are civil rights, and then there are other things – such as traditional marriage – that, I think, express a community’s concern and regard for a particular institution.

Let parents bequeath to their children not riches, but the spirit of reverence.

A person should not be too honest. Straight trees are cut first and honest people are screwed first.

Christianity is a lifestyle. And being a Christian is more than a label.

Don’t run if you can walk. Don’t walk if you can stand. Don’t stand if you can sit. Don’t sit if you can lie down.

I listen to music all day every day. I can’t not listen to music. It’s kind of scary how much I listen to music, but it’s what I love, and it’s all I care about, so I’m good with it.

Hope springs eternal in the human breast: Man never is, but always to be blest.

You know, fame is a funny thing, man, especially, you know, actors, musicians, rappers, rock singers, it’s kind of a lifestyle and it’s easy to get caught up in it – you go to bars, you go to clubs, everyone’s doing a certain thing… It’s tough.

Just as your car runs more smoothly and requires less energy to go faster and farther when the wheels are in perfect alignment, you perform better when your thoughts, feelings, emotions, goals, and values are in balance.

It is better to be beautiful than to be good. But… it is better to be good than to be ugly.

Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury.

The South is very beautiful but its beauty makes one sad because the lives that people live here, and have lived here, are so ugly.

I consider myself a poet first and a musician second. I live like a poet and I’ll die like a poet.

To give real service you must add something which cannot be bought or measured with money, and that is sincerity and integrity.

I find the difference, for me, between having no money and having quite a bit is that the bills get bigger. And that’s it. The lifestyle doesn’t change.

Religion, any religion, no matter what sort of wonderful religion, never be universal. So now education is universal, so we have to sort of find ways and means through education system, from kindergarten up to university level, to make awareness these good things, the values, inner values.

If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health.

Men are only as great as they are kind.

On some positions, Cowardice asks the question, ‚Is it safe?‘ Expediency asks the question, ‚Is it politic?‘ And Vanity comes along and asks the question, ‚Is it popular?‘ But Conscience asks the question, ‚Is it right?‘

I’ll promise to go easier on drinking and to get to bed earlier, but not for you, fifty thousand dollars, or two-hundred and fifty thousand dollars will I give up women. They’re too much fun.

A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.

They can do without architecture who have no olives nor wines in the cellar.

Modesty forbids what the law does not.

There is no principle worth the name if it is not wholly good.

In a magazine, one can get – from cover to cover – 15 to 20 different ideas about life and how to live it.

Nothing that was worthy in the past departs; no truth or goodness realized by man ever dies, or can die.

I will never say something I don’t agree with or believe in… even if the reward is massive!

What’s fascinating is, people in Washington would rather spend time in Hollywood, and people in Hollywood would rather spend time in Washington.

I worked out a lot before I was 20. I was hard underneath. I had just a little padding. I was quilted. Always Chanel.

Sometimes we be playing the politics too much and forget who we are just to win.

Cowardice asks the question, is it safe? Expediency asks the question, is it politic? Vanity asks the question, is it popular? But conscience asks the question, is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because it is right.

To summarize, draft resistance can make use of the inegalitarian nature of American society as a technique for increasing the cost of American aggression, and it threatens values that are important to those in a decision-making position.

If an individual wants to be a leader and isn’t controversial, that means he never stood for anything.

The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.

Honor has not to be won; it must only not be lost.

Some people spend their lives building ultimate dream homes so they can enjoy their twilight years… Others spend their last days in nursing homes.

And Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values, like you work hard for what you want in life. That your word is your bond; that you do what you say you’re going to do. That you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don’t know them and even if you don’t agree with them.

What men value in this world is not rights but privileges.

Money can’t buy life.

Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what’s right.

I strongly believe that missionaries make better products. They care more. For a missionary, it’s not just about the business. There has to be a business, and the business has to make sense, but that’s not why you do it. You do it because you have something meaningful that motivates you.

Nothing is more precious than independence and liberty.

I do not think I could myself be brought to support a man for office whom I knew to be an open enemy of, and scoffer at, religion.

I am afraid we must make the world honest before we can honestly say to our children that honesty is the best policy.

Our heritage and ideals, our code and standards – the things we live by and teach our children – are preserved or diminished by how freely we exchange ideas and feelings.

Increase of material comforts, it may be generally laid down, does not in any way whatsoever conduce to moral growth.

Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.

Material things ain’t nothing. You feel me? At the end of the day, it’s who you is. You wasn’t born with it; you gon‘ die without it.

True patriotism is better than the wrong kind of piety.

If I wouldn’t have found Courtney, I probably would have carried on with a bisexual lifestyle.
