I cannot remember a moment in my life when I have not felt the love of my family. We were a family that would have killed for each other – and we still are.

A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.

It’s fun to be hopelessly in love. It’s dangerous, but it’s fun.

My whole life and my whole career, even through my music, I tell people: let’s unify; let’s show more love.

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.

To an ordinary human being, love means nothing if it does not mean loving some people more than others.

Jealousy is just love and hate at the same time.

Absolutely not. I have no problem with commitment. In fact, I love having someone in my life.

We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.

My sisters are stronger and my brother’s bigger than me.

The joys of parents are secret, and so are their grieves and fears.

I love Brad in every state.

We must think and act like a nation of a billion people and not like that of a million people. Dream, dream, dream!

Neither of my parents went to church, but they did everything that you needed to do to be Christian. That’s something a Quaker would call an intimation of the divine.

Love in its essence is spiritual fire.

I dream of an Africa which is in peace with itself.

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.

My mother would kill me if I posed nude! My mother raised me with certain standards.

I believe with all my heart that America remains ‚the great idea‘ that inspires the world. It is a privilege to be born here. It is an honor to become a citizen here. It is a gift to raise your family here, to vote here, and to live here.

The way up and the way down are one and the same.

I always thought money was something just to make me happy. But I’ve learned that I feel better being able to help my folks, ‚cause we never had nothing. So just to see them excited about my career is more of a blessing than me actually having it for myself.

Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.

I think your values are always influenced by your family and your community.

True friends stab you in the front.

You don’t have to be scared of me, because I am loyal. Why are people so scared of creative ideas and so scared of truth? All I want to do is do good.

We have observed that, in society and the world in which we live, selfishness has increased more than love for others, and that men of good will must work, each with his own strengths and expertise, to ensure that love for others increases until it is equal and possibly exceeds love for oneself.

To love is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.

And I will do everything that I can as long as I am President of the United States to remind the American people that we are one nation under God, and we may call that God different names but we remain one nation.

A family looks for ways to support and inspire one another.

Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go.

My grandpa was a preacher.

There is more of good nature than of good sense at the bottom of most marriages.

The sadness of the women’s movement is that they don’t allow the necessity of love. See, I don’t personally trust any revolution where love is not allowed.

I love life because what more is there?

If you’re the parent, be a parent. You know what I mean? I’m a parent. I have daughters.

Jump out the window if you are the object of passion. Flee it if you feel it. Passion goes, boredom remains.

The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.

When we are in love we seem to ourselves quite different from what we were before.

Hatred is blind, as well as love.

There is a very fine line between loving life and being greedy for it.

Thank God, I never was cheerful. I come from the happy stock of the Mathers, who, as you remember, passed sweet mornings reflecting on the goodness of God and the damnation of infants.

I do have a lot of gays in my family now, but some will never come out.

When your mother asks, ‚Do you want a piece of advice?‘ it is a mere formality. It doesn’t matter if you answer yes or no. You’re going to get it anyway.

I was set free because my greatest fear had been realized, and I still had a daughter who I adored, and I had an old typewriter and a big idea. And so rock bottom became a solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.

I’d like to think that I’m a calm and sweet person. I tend to be very playful at home with my children, but in life… we have to fight our battles – our work battles, our political battles, our personal battles – and we’re focused.

My mama never wore a pair of pants when I was growing up, and now that’s all she wears. It was so funny for me when I first started seeing Mama wear pants. It was like it wasn’t Mama. Now I’ve bought her many a pantsuit because she just lives in them.

Love has reasons which reason cannot understand.

He who loves 50 people has 50 woes; he who loves no one has no woes.

Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.

Confidence, as a teenager? Because I knew what I loved. I loved to read; I loved to listen to music; and I loved cats. Those three things. So, even though I was an only kid, I could be happy because I knew what I loved.

The only thing that will redeem mankind is cooperation.

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

We live in a world that has narrowed into a neighborhood before it has broadened into a brotherhood.

I believe that God’s dream is that we be successful in our careers, and that we be able to send our kids to college. I don’t mean that everyone is going to be rich, and I preach a lot on blooming where you’re planted. But I don’t have the mindset that money is a bad thing.

The one badge of Christian discipleship is not orthodoxy but love.

My mom cleaned toilets for a long time, and she’d seen a lot of terrible things, but she was still the strength of our family. And there are women like that all across the country – all around the world – who show that type of fortitude.

How much better it would be if all could be more aware of God’s providence and love and express that gratitude to Him.

Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.

The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists.

I fall in love every day. Not with people but with situations.

Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in.
