Keeping score is for games, not friendships.

The second time around, I’ll understand that, as a husband, my wife doesn’t care about my opinions. I just need to tell her the things that will continue to help me stack the brownie points.

Your friend is your needs answered.

People hate as they love, unreasonably.

If you would be loved, love, and be loveable.

A friend is, as it were, a second self.

In our ecclesiastical region there are priests who don’t baptize the children of single mothers because they weren’t conceived in the sanctity of marriage. These are today’s hypocrites. Those who clericalize the church. Those who separate the people of God from salvation.

I have an urge to communicate. I think I’m a change from what it would be like dating a normal guy who doesn’t talk too much.

The chain of wedlock is so heavy that it takes two to carry it – and sometimes three.

You can’t have it all, all at once. Who – man or woman – has it all, all at once? Over my lifespan, I think I have had it all. But in different periods of time, things were rough. And if you have a caring life partner, you help the other person when that person needs it.

I think we all change each other’s paths. I don’t know which law idea that is in physics, but I don’t think any of us can live without affecting one another.

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.

Part of our tradition as black women is that we are universalists. Black children, yellow children, red children, brown children, that is the black woman’s normal, day-to-day relationship. In my family alone, we are about four different colors.

What good am I? I can’t have kids. I can’t cook. I’ve been divorced three times. Who would want me?

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.

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

I like some animals more than some people, some people more than some animals.

I rely on other people every day of my life.

Finding good partners is the key to success in anything: in business, in marriage and, especially, in investing.

As I get older, I tend to put more into family than I used to.

You’re unlikely to discover something new without a lot of practice on old stuff, but further, you should get a heck of a lot of fun out of working out funny relations and interesting things.

Impart as much as you can of your spiritual being to those who are on the road with you, and accept as something precious what comes back to you from them.

Children wish fathers looked but with their eyes; fathers that children with their judgment looked; and either may be wrong.

He who hath many friends hath none.

Alimony – the ransom that the happy pay to the devil.

The world is round so that friendship may encircle it.

I think I have had so much blessing – I’ve had my brother, who was brilliant – I think my family came closest to making a genius when they made my brother – Bailey was just all of that. He loved me.

Consult your friend on all things, especially on those which respect yourself. His counsel may then be useful where your own self-love might impair your judgment.

The details surrounding both my marriage and subsequent filing for divorce are private, and I had hoped to keep them that way for the sake of my family.

He that displays too often his wife and his wallet is in danger of having both of them borrowed.

Marriage is the most natural state of man, and… the state in which you will find solid happiness.

I think that you can love people without it being the great love.

It is a true rule that love is ever rewarded, either with the reciproque or with an inward and secret contempt.

Love is a serious mental disease.

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.

I really want to love somebody. I do. I just don’t know if it’s possible forever and ever.

We can improve our relationships with others by leaps and bounds if we become encouragers instead of critics.

Perhaps the most delightful friendships are those in which there is much agreement, much disputation, and yet more personal liking.

If I love you, what business is it of yours?

But that intimacy of mutual embarrassment, in which each feels that the other is feeling something, having once existed, its effect is not to be done away with.

Marriage is like putting your hand into a bag of snakes in the hope of pulling out an eel.

I believe when it comes to love, there’s something intangible about who we are attracted to, and I don’t think I have a pattern.

It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.

When I was married, I definitely went through a lying period.

Friendship, like love, is destroyed by long absence, though it may be increased by short intermissions.

All men hate the nagging.
