Friendship, like credit, is highest when it is not used.

How marriage ruins a man! It is as demoralizing as cigarettes, and far more expensive.

He that hath wife and children hath given hostages to fortune; for they are impediments to great enterprises, either of virtue or mischief.

Love is the only game that is not called on account of darkness.

I am not very good with relationships. With anyone. I can’t be locked up with anyone for too long.

Nothing is to be rated higher than the value of the day.

I’m drawn to bad romances.

For me, one of the toughest things about Valentine’s Day is that it gets geared up as the day to profess your love. See, T-E-S-T – that’s a bad word that doesn’t go with L-O-V-E.

It no longer bothers me that I may be constantly searching for father figures; by this time, I have found several and dearly enjoyed knowing them all.

What’s the use of happiness? It can’t buy you money.

For all the supporters of Tesla over the years, and it’s been several years now and there have been some very tough times, I’d just like to say thank you very much. I deeply appreciate the support, particularly through the darkest times.

I was never a boy magnet at school. There was always the girl all the guys liked and wanted to date, but it was never me.

Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.

I was always very curious as a young man about why older writers who I met seemed so indifferent to what was going on, whereas I, in my 20s, was reading everything. Everything seemed important. But they were only interested in the writers they admired when they were young, and I didn’t understand it then, but now, now I understand it.

Sucking up to the biggies won’t get us anywhere.

When I found somebody who I fell in love with, it made me feel different than I felt the rest of the day. It was electrifying. That’s what inspired the ‚Off to the Races‘ melodies. That’s one of the times when you’re feeling electrified by someone else and they make you happy to be alive.

Who could refrain that had a heart to love and in that heart courage to make love known?

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

We all die, we all get sick, we all feel hunger and lust and pain, and therefore human life is consistent from one generation to the other. We all – most of us, anyway – want connections with other people and spend our lives looking for them.

I don’t like people going behind my back.

Marriage is like a game of chess except the board is flowing water, the pieces are made of smoke and no move you make will have any effect on the outcome.

Value is what you get.

As long as you know men are like children, you know everything!

Men who think that a woman’s past love affairs lessen her love for them are usually stupid and weak.

A pessimist? That’s a person who has been intimately acquainted with an optimist.

Why are women… so much more interesting to men than men are to women?

A true friend encourages us, comforts us, supports us like a big easy chair, offering us a safe refuge from the world.

I have so much in my life. I want to be of value to the world.

Let us make a special effort to stop communicating with each other, so we can have some conversation.

The true measure of the value of any business leader and manager is performance.

I have lived and slept in the same bed with English countesses and Prussian farm women… no woman has excited passions among women more than I have.

I mean… in life… what relationship is easy?

Understand, our police officers put their lives on the line for us every single day. They’ve got a tough job to do to maintain public safety and hold accountable those who break the law.

The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness.

Exaggeration is a blood relation to falsehood and nearly as blamable.

I don’t know what’s better gettin‘ laid or gettin‘ paid.

The older I get, the better I understand that every day is a gift.

By taking a second wife he pays the highest compliment to the first, by showing that she made him so happy as a married man, that he wishes to be so a second time.

No man wants to settle down. It happens. Eventually you’re going to bump into somebody that makes you go, ‚Hmm, I don’t mind seeing this person every day.‘

Sincerity makes the very least person to be of more value than the most talented hypocrite.

Love alone is capable of uniting living beings in such a way as to complete and fulfill them, for it alone takes them and joins them by what is deepest in themselves.

Often we can help each other most by leaving each other alone; at other times we need the hand-grasp and the word of cheer.

It is easy to say how we love new friends, and what we think of them, but words can never trace out all the fibers that knit us to the old.

More than anything else, I want the folks back at home to think right of me.

If you wished to be loved, love.

I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

Marriage is neither heaven nor hell, it is simply purgatory.

The first rap CD that I had, it was so different for me. The energy, the wordplay, all that caught my attention, and I liked it.

The way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost.

A lot of times, people feel that if they forgive the person who hurt them, then they will continue to take advantage of them or not take responsibility for what they did wrong.

Nothing is worth doing unless the consequences may be serious.

I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don’t notice it.

I love us so incredibly, insanely deeply; it’s almost unbearable to see what we do to ourselves.

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

It is a common enough case, that of a man being suddenly captivated by a woman nearly the opposite of his ideal.

My friends, there are no friends.

A woman can’t be alone. She needs a man. A man and a woman support and strengthen each other. She just can’t do it by herself.

No one would choose a friendless existence on condition of having all the other things in the world.

The true worth of a man is not to be found in man himself, but in the colours and textures that come alive in others.

Among the many values in life, I appreciate freedom most.

Bisexuality immediately doubles your chances for a date on Saturday night.
