I believe in love at first sight. You want that connection, and then you want some problems.

It is hard for the ape to believe he descended from man.

Ever since I dated a woman, I know what it is to grab a curve on a woman’s body. Skinny’s not fine when the lights are low.

Plant and your spouse plants with you; weed and you weed alone.

Be generous with kindly words, especially about those who are absent.

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.

I don’t believe in the after life, although I am bringing a change of underwear.

I’ll tell you one thing, since I’m married, single people look absolutely ridiculous to me.

Friendship is the marriage of the soul, and this marriage is liable to divorce.

My message is that God is a good God.

People haven’t always been there for me, but music always has.

Was Jesus the son of God? Yes. But so are you. You just haven’t realized it yet.

All gods are homemade, and it is we who pull their strings, and so, give them the power to pull ours.

Do not tell fish stories where the people know you; but particularly, don’t tell them where they know the fish.

It is not true that people are naturally equal for no two people can be together for even a half an hour without one acquiring an evident superiority over the other.

He who doesn’t pray to the Lord prays to the devil.

There is not enough religion in the world even to destroy religion.

The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent.

‚Tis love that makes the world go round, my baby.

Hatred is an affair of the heart; contempt that of the head.

If someone has a really great boyfriend or career, I think, it’s cool that happens.

I believe many people feel like God is mad at them. One day I put a post on Facebook that said, ‚God is not mad at you.‘ Within a few hours, we literally had thousands of positive responses from people saying things like, ‚That is exactly what I needed to hear today.‘ Obviously, this is a message we need to hear.

In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don’t.

Mostly, my flying has been solo, but the preparation for it wasn’t. Without my husband’s help and encouragement, I could not have attempted what I have. Ours has been a contented and reasonable partnership, he with his solo jobs and I with mine. But always with work and play together, conducted under a satisfactory system of dual control.

President Assad, I worked with. I know him reasonably well, met with him a few times, and he’s a liar.

Well, we can’t say any more than we can say there is no god, there is no afterlife. We can only say there is no persuasive evidence for or argument for it.

Quarrel? Nonsense; we have not quarreled. If one is not to get into a rage sometimes, what is the good of being friends?

Were it not for imagination a man would be as happy in arms of a chambermaid as of a duchess.

Faith certainly tells us what the senses do not, but not the contrary of what they see; it is above, not against them.

It’s often just enough to be with someone. I don’t need to touch them. Not even talk. A feeling passes between you both. You’re not alone.

When the intensity of emotional conviction subsides, a man who is in the habit of reasoning will search for logical grounds in favour of the belief which he finds in himself.

I’m a romantic; a sentimental person thinks things will last, a romantic person hopes against hope that they won’t.

When people say, you know, ‚Good teacher,‘ ‚Prophet,‘ ‚Really nice guy’… this is not how Jesus thought of Himself. So you’re left with a challenge in that, which is either Jesus was who he said he was or a complete and utter nut case. You have to make a choice on that.

The closest I ever came to getting married was just before I started singing. In fact, my first record saved my neck.

When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That’s relativity.

I think everyone should be with who they love.

When love beckons to you, follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.

If one could be friendly with women, what a pleasure – the relationship so secret and private compared with relations with men. Why not write about it truthfully?

I think I have to trust that you end up with the person you’re supposed to end up with, and that everything in between is there to teach you stuff.

I can’t relate to lazy people. We don’t speak the same language. I don’t understand you. I don’t want to understand you.

Creative people don’t behave very well generally. If you’re looking for examples of good relationships in show business, you’re gonna be depressed real fast. I don’t have time for anything else right now but work and my daughter. She’s my first priority.

A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.

Test yourself on mankind. It is something that makes the doubter doubt, the believer believe.

Relationships are like traffic lights. And I just have this theory that I can only exist in a relationship if it’s a green light.

I love to flirt, and I’ve never met a man I didn’t like.

It’s a funny thing that when a man hasn’t anything on earth to worry about, he goes off and gets married.

The highest revelation is that God is in every man.

For me, when I picture the person I want to end up with, I don’t think about what their career is, or what they look like. I picture the feeling I get when I’m with them.

You start to become successful, and everybody starts to drive your money train to the bank, and they’re not thinking anymore about what you want as an artist or if any of that even matters to you. It genuinely upsets people in my life that I don’t care about money, and that’s not my problem.

Sometimes you can’t prioritise family and you feel guilty.

If you’re performing music that is not who you are or where you’re at, it is painful. It’s painful for the performer and for the audience.

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.

That all men are equal is a proposition to which, at ordinary times, no sane human being has ever given his assent.

You better take care of me Lord, if you don’t you’re gonna have me on your hands.

Religion, born of the earth’s need for the disclosing of a god, is related to and co-extensive with not the individual man, but the whole of mankind.

If I think too hard about a relationship, I’ll talk myself out of it.

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

Love matches, so called, have illusion for their father and need for their mother.

Fables should be taught as fables, myths as myths, and miracles as poetic fantasies. To teach superstitions as truths is a most terrible thing. The child mind accepts and believes them, and only through great pain and perhaps tragedy can he be in after years relieved of them.

While discipline and freedom seem like they sit on opposite sides of the spectrum, they are actually very connected.

The fact is that people are good, Give people affection and security, and they will give affection and be secure in their feelings and their behavior.
