A woman can bring a new love to each man she loves, providing there are not too many.

One of my big goals as a human being is to continue to write what’s really happening to me, even if it’s a tough pill to swallow for people around me… I do fear that if I ever were to have someone in my life who mattered, I would second-guess every one of my lyrics.

If you remember me, then I don’t care if everyone else forgets.

Obviously, you go through a lot of emotional turmoil in a divorce.

We always deceive ourselves twice about the people we love – first to their advantage, then to their disadvantage.

I don’t think there’s an option for me to fall in love slowly or at medium speed. I either do, or I don’t.

If you want to become fully mature in the Lord, you must learn to love truth. Otherwise, you will always leave open a door of deception for the enemy to take what is meant to be yours.

When I think of the love I feel for each member of our family, I sense, to a slight degree, the love that our Heavenly Father bears for His children.

I think, a lot of times when you meet someone, you feel like you need to appear like you’re not interested in them so that they’ll be more interested in you. But what happens when you start showing him that you actually like him? What’s he gonna do then? Play the tape forward; how do you keep a guy like that? I don’t want to sign up for that.

A friend will tell you she saw your old boyfriend – and he’s a priest.

I always wanted a family.

The difficult thing is that vulnerability is the first thing I look for in you and the last thing I’m willing to show you. In you, it’s courage and daring. In me, it’s weakness.

Never envy a man his lady. Behind it all lays a living hell.

Men and women do think differently, and frankly, we don’t understand each other. Not at all! But that’s what makes relationships so amazing.

I’m not a real movie star. I’ve still got the same wife I started out with twenty-eight years ago.

What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined – to strengthen each other – to be at one with each other in silent unspeakable memories.

Love is an interesting thing.

There’s a deceptive sin that can keep us from walking in love: pride. It’s deceptive because when you have pride, you’re usually too proud to admit it. I know this because I used to have teachings on pride and they didn’t sell well.

I’m just a friendly person; that runs in my family.

If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don’t, they never were.

I’ve done a lot of things I’m not proud of, such as getting my girlfriend pregnant when I was 23 and the way I handled that.

Nicki Minaj, I’m at MTV. I’m going to be honest with you: I love you. I like you. I want you; I want you to be mine. Only reason I’m not telling you this face to face is because I understand that you’re busy.

The big divide in this country is not between Democrats and Republicans, or women and men, but between talkers and doers.

Not necessity, not desire – no, the love of power is the demon of men. Let them have everything – health, food, a place to live, entertainment – they are and remain unhappy and low-spirited: for the demon waits and waits and will be satisfied.

There are women who can make you feel more with their bodies and their souls, but these are the exact women who will turn the knife into you right in front of the crowd. Of course, I expect this, but the knife still cuts.

If you think you can slander a woman into loving you, or a man into voting for you, try it till you are satisfied.

I’m the most recognized and loved man that ever lived cuz there weren’t no satellites when Jesus and Moses were around, so people far away in the villages didn’t know about them.

I worked with someone who told me they’d never like me. But for some reason, I just felt like I needed her approval. So I started changing myself to please her. It made me stop being social and friendly. I was so unhappy.

I boldly assert, in fact I think I know, that a lot of friendships and connections absolutely depend upon a sort of shared language, or slang. Not necessarily designed to exclude others, this can establish a certain comity and, even after a long absence, re-establish it in a second.

I may neither choose who I would, nor refuse who I dislike; so is the will of a living daughter curbed by the will of a dead father.

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.

Anxiety and spiritual searching have been consistent themes with me, and that figures into my worldview. But I tend to make my songs sound like relationship songs.

To witness two lovers is a spectacle for the gods.

Self-interest is the enemy of all true affection.

I love those who yearn for the impossible.

We’re so immaturely cynical as a culture. We’re not wise enough to look at an institution like marriage and to really things about what it means and what it signifies. It signifies a place where people can tie the ropes of their lives together so that they’re stronger. It signifies a place where people can tell the truth to one another.

Couples are wholes and not wholes, what agrees disagrees, the concordant is discordant. From all things one and from one all things.

When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece.

The love of life is necessary to the vigorous prosecution of any undertaking.

I could fall in love with a sumo wrestler if he told stories and made me laugh. Obviously, it would be easier if someone was African-American and lived next door and went to the same church. Because then I wouldn’t have to translate.

Love is the answer, and you know that for sure; Love is a flower, you’ve got to let it grow.

When I walk with you I feel as if I had a flower in my buttonhole.

He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.

I absolutely adore Christmas.

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

Counsel with your parents is a privilege at any age.

Secrets are things we give to others to keep for us.

Grief is the price we pay for love.

Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend – or a meaningful day.

Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.

Our love, our gratitude, our admiration for our men and women in uniform, our veterans and their families – all of that is bigger than any one party or any one election.

Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence.

Getting a great idea with song writing is a lot like love. You don’t know why this one is different, but it is. You don’t know why this one is better, but it is. It sticks in your head, and you can’t stop thinking about it.

We’ve got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can’t just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it’s going to get on by itself. You’ve got to keep watering it. You’ve got to really look after it and nurture it.

It is generally recognised that women are better than men at languages, personal relations and multi-tasking, but less good at map-reading and spatial awareness. It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that women might be less good at mathematics and physics.

Women have no sympathy and my experience of women is almost as large as Europe.

If we lose love and self respect for each other, this is how we finally die.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.

Doubt thou the stars are fire, Doubt that the sun doth move. Doubt truth to be a liar, But never doubt I love.

Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.

I mean, families are weird.
