I don’t eat with beautiful women alone.

It is unbecoming for young men to utter maxims.

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

There are few things that we so unwillingly give up, even in advanced age, as the supposition that we still have the power of ingratiating ourselves with the fair sex.

At a formal dinner party, the person nearest death should always be seated closest to the bathroom.

Because of a great love, one is courageous.

I’d love to date somebody cool, fun, funny.

I’m a girls‘ girl. I have guy friends, but the problem with having guy friends is, like, I always get linked to them, and they’ll end up in a slideshow of people I’ve apparently dated on the Internet.

Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.

It’s not possible to stop love.

What good am I? I can’t have kids. I can’t cook. I’ve been divorced three times. Who would want me?

I have rules for a lot of areas of my life. Love is not going to be one of them.

When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain.

No matter what message you are about to deliver somewhere, whether it is holding out a hand of friendship, or making clear that you disapprove of something, is the fact that the person sitting across the table is a human being, so the goal is to always establish common ground.

Plain women know more about men than beautiful women do.

Within one’s own family, money is not the measure of things, unless the person is an absolute Scrooge. Only the most extreme kind of monster would put a price on everything.

As far as I knew white women were never lonely, except in books. White men adored them, Black men desired them and Black women worked for them.

The drama and the trauma of the relationship you have when you’re 16 can mirror the one you have when you’re 26. Life repeats itself.

As unique as we all are, an awful lot of us want the same things. We want to shake up our current less-than-fulfilling lives. We want to be happier, more loving, forgiving and connected with the people around us.

You bring children into the world. You love them with heart and soul.

It is impossible to love and to be wise.

Love is like a virus. It can happen to anybody at any time.

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.

Everything is clearer when you’re in love.

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.

Alimony is like buying hay for a dead horse.

The unsaid rule for living in a trailer park is: ‚If the door’s shut, don’t come a-knockin.‘ But if it’s open and you’re walkin‘ by, feel free to say, ‚Hello.‘

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

When people say ‚marriage‘ to me… It’s always a means to an end. Everyone’s so in a rush to define the relationship.

Trust is the glue of life. It’s the most essential ingredient in effective communication. It’s the foundational principle that holds all relationships.

Everywhere is nowhere. When a person spends all his time in foreign travel, he ends by having many acquaintances, but no friends.

Every man needs slaves like he needs clean air. To rule is to breathe, is it not? And even the most disenfranchised get to breathe. The lowest on the social scale have their spouses or their children.

I can’t deal with someone wanting to take a relationship backward or needing space or cheating on you.

Man will do many things to get himself loved, he will do all things to get himself envied.

Without deep reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people.

The greatest thing in family life is to take a hint when a hint is intended-and not to take a hint when a hint isn’t intended.

I want to be a man who is truthful and who won’t let pride get in the way of my ripping myself open to my partner and saying, ‚Here I am. This is me.‘ I feel there’s something powerful when a man reaches a point in his life when he can be completely vulnerable.

There’s nothing in the world like the devotion of a married woman. It’s a thing no married man knows anything about.

To love and win is the best thing. To love and lose, the next best.

As a single withered tree, if set aflame, causes a whole forest to burn, so does a rascal son destroy a whole family.

It is not love that should be depicted as blind, but self-love.

Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice.

Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose.

Women. They are a complete mystery.

If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on.

Maxim for life: You get treated in life the way you teach people to treat you.

Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.

The English don’t like concepts, really, not from a pop star. It’s alright if they come from an ‚intellectual,‘, but from a pop star you’re getting ahead of yourself. Part of the class game is that you shouldn’t rise above your station, and to start talking about concepts if you’re in the pop world is getting a bit uppity, isn’t it?

My mother never made me do anything for my brothers, like serve them. I think that’s an important lesson, especially for the Latino culture, because the women are expected to be the ones that serve and cook and whatever. Not in our family. Everybody was equal.

Through my research, I found that vulnerability is the glue that holds relationships together. It’s the magic sauce.

Understand: as children and young adults, we are taught to conform to certain codes of behavior and ways of doing things. We learn that being different comes with a social price.

Regarding marriage, it – somehow, it didn’t happen. One fellow in such a big family not getting married is not an issue.

Men are April when they woo, December when they wed. Maids are May when they are maids, but the sky changes when they are wives.

Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.

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

I desire so to conduct the affairs of this administration that if at the end… I have lost every other friend on earth, I shall at least have one friend left, and that friend shall be down inside of me.

Don’t get the impression that you arouse my anger. You see, one can only be angry with those he respects.

It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.

Men always want to be a woman’s first love – women like to be a man’s last romance.

It is impossible, in our condition of Society, not to be sometimes a Snob.

Tell your wife often how terrific she looks.
