Facebook and Instagram are both really popular with teens, both in the U.S. and globally across the world. I think what you’re starting to see is that there are all these different ways that people want to share and communicate.

I’m blessed to have such a tight-knit family that we can talk about anything. Whether we talk frequently or not, since we’re on separate ends of the country, there are a lot of moving parts, and we always stay tight and find that center ground that keeps us together.

I think most artists would be happy to have bigger audiences rather than smaller ones. It doesn’t mean that they are going to change their work in order necessarily to get it, but they’re happy if they do get it.

I just think you ought to talk straight with your people.

He who obtains has little. He who scatters has much.

I’m sure most parents read to their children to explain what certain things mean. So books are a good way to convey a message to anybody. Everybody reads.

So when you are listening to somebody, completely, attentively, then you are listening not only to the words, but also to the feeling of what is being conveyed, to the whole of it, not part of it.

Whenever you’re in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude.

If one plays good music, people don’t listen and if one plays bad music people don’t talk.

Everybody, to some extent, manipulates. Even children learn to cry when they want something. There are all kinds of subtle things we do to get others to follow our lead, not bother us, and so on.

A man has a property in his opinions and the free communication of them.

Once I found this possibility to use Twitter and Facebook and my blog to connect to my readers, I’m going to use it, to connect to them and to share thoughts that I cannot use in the book.

A man is more frank and sincere with his emotions than a woman. We girls, I’m afraid, have a tendency to hide our feelings.

Communications technology changes possibilities for communication, but that doesn’t mean it changes the inherited structure of the brain. So you may think that you’re addicted to online reading, but as soon as it isn’t available anymore, your brain will pretty immediately adjust to other forms of reading. It’s a habit like all habits.

Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with deeper meaning.

To be clear: we have fights and problems like any other couple.

There’s backlash about everything I do.

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.

What can I say? I’m a talker.

I don’t think people are going to talk in the future. They’re going to communicate through eye contact, body language, emojis, signs.

The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own.

I’ve been blessed in that regard through and through. So I’m just thankful for this opportunity to play the game that I love and share that with the world.

Every once in a while, you let a word or phrase out and you want to catch it and bring it back. You can’t do that. It’s gone, gone forever.

I meant what I said and I said what I meant.

I imagine I will spend my days traveling from country to country to visit our children, who I expect will live around the world.

There is always another way to say the same thing that doesn’t look at all like the way you said it before. I don’t know what the reason for this is. I think it is somehow a representation of the simplicity of nature.

I’m guarded; I don’t talk much.

People use irony as a defense mechanism.

You have to be careful about how much you reveal to people that look up to you so much.

The best morale exist when you never hear the word mentioned. When you hear a lot of talk about it, it’s usually lousy.

When a thoughtless or unkind word is spoken, best tune out.

People want to act like they know celebrities. They want to see pictures. They want to know where you’re going. They want to hear you talk about your family.

When I woke up this morning my girlfriend asked me, ‚Did you sleep good?‘ I said ‚No, I made a few mistakes.‘

The most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people.

Truthful words are not beautiful; beautiful words are not truthful. Good words are not persuasive; persuasive words are not good.

I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it.

On engagement, we’re already seeing that mobile users are more likely to be daily active users than desktop users. They’re more likely to use Facebook six or seven days of the week.

All slang is metaphor, and all metaphor is poetry.

There is one way to have a short but exciting conversation with me, and that is to move too slow.

If I could explain it to the average person, it wouldn’t have been worth the Nobel Prize.

One great use of words is to hide our thoughts.

While I have never learned to use a computer, I am surrounded by family and friends who carry information to me from blogs, Facebook, Twitter, and various websites.

I mean, we’ve built a lot of products that we think are good, and will help people share photos and share videos and write messages to each other. But it’s really all about how people are spreading Facebook around the world in all these different countries. And that’s what’s so amazing about the scale that it’s at today.

I make a lot of expressions constantly. I’m animated.

When I put out ‚Video Games‘ in May 2011, it was a 5:25-minute love song; I was surprised when a lot of people said they were listening to it. I was surprised when it went to the radio, without me even knowing how something like that even happens!

People who know little are usually great talkers, while men who know much say little.

The American people are entitled to see the president and to hear his views directly, and not to see him only through the press.

There can be no doubt that the average man blames much more than he praises. His instinct is to blame. If he is satisfied he says nothing; if he is not, he most illogically kicks up a row.

The empty vessel makes the loudest sound.

The royal road to a man’s heart is to talk to him about the things he treasures most.

Many parents and teachers have become irritated to the point of distraction at the way the weed-style growth of ‚like‘ has spread through the idiom of the young. And it’s true that in some cases the term has become simultaneously a crutch and a tic, driving out the rest of the vocabulary as candy expels vegetables.

Christmas is the perfect time to celebrate the love of God and family and to create memories that will last forever. Jesus is God’s perfect, indescribable gift. The amazing thing is that not only are we able to receive this gift, but we are able to share it with others on Christmas and every other day of the year.

There are some people, you know, they think the way to be a big man is to shout and stomp and raise hell-and then nothing ever really happens. I’m not like that I never shoot blanks.

Good writing is like a windowpane.

I’ll be judged on the body of work and not the popularity of any one decision.

Short words are best and the old words when short are best of all.

I’m going to save my public voice largely for the issues where I have some depth.

In true dialogue, both sides are willing to change.

We want everybody to act like adults, quit playing games, realize that it’s not just my way or the highway.

In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

What you guys want, I’m for.
