I don’t like people going behind my back.

Swearing is industry language. For as long as we’re alive it’s not going to change. You’ve got to be boisterous to get results.

There is nothing we like to communicate to others as much as the seal of secrecy together with what lies under it.

Most of us have hoped and prayed for something to happen a certain way, but it didn’t. And when this happened, we had a choice to make: to react with offense toward God or to trust Him anyway.

Prayer is simply a two-way conversation between you and God.

If you make listening and observation your occupation you will gain much more than you can by talk.

My dad was the town drunk. Most of the time that’s not so bad; but New York City?

Words are more treacherous and powerful than we think.

I believe that a trusting attitude and a patient attitude go hand in hand. You see, when you let go and learn to trust God, it releases joy in your life. And when you trust God, you’re able to be more patient. Patience is not just about waiting for something… it’s about how you wait, or your attitude while waiting.

A lot of times, people make other people responsible for their joy: ‚You’re not making me happy, you’re not doing this, you’re not doing that.‘

If you can’t hear me, it’s because I’m in parentheses.

I did my utmost to ensure that everyone below me in the chain of command felt comfortable approaching me with concerns, ideas, thoughts, and even disagreements.

In my house I’m the boss, my wife is just the decision maker.

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

Be not a slave of words.

Here’s what I’ve learned about deal-breakers. If you have enough natural chemistry with someone, you overlook every single thing that you said would break the deal.

I don’t like being alone.

I believe that it is better to tell the truth than a lie. I believe it is better to be free than to be a slave. And I believe it is better to know than to be ignorant.

For it is mutual trust, even more than mutual interest that holds human associations together. Our friends seldom profit us but they make us feel safe. Marriage is a scheme to accomplish exactly that same end.

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

Hear reason, or she’ll make you feel her.

I think it’s brought the world a lot closer together, and will continue to do that. There are downsides to everything; there are unintended consequences to everything. The most corrosive piece of technology that I’ve ever seen is called television – but then, again, television, at its best, is magnificent.

I’ve always regretted that I never was able to talk openly with my parents, especially with my father. I’ve heard and read so many things about my family that I can no longer believe anything; every relative I question has a completely different story from the last.

Single life is so overrated.

I hope that Facebook and other Internet technologies were able to help people, just like we hope that we help them communicate and organize and do whatever they want to every single day, but I don’t pretend that if Facebook didn’t exist, that this wouldn’t even be possible. Of course, it would have.

The face of a lover is an unknown, precisely because it is invested with so much of oneself. It is a mystery, containing, like all mysteries, the possibility of torment.

I trust my taste. I trust it completely and I always have done, and I’ve always thought it isn’t that different from everybody else’s.

The duty of rhetoric is to deal with such matters as we deliberate upon without arts or systems to guide us, in the hearing of persons who cannot take in at a glance a complicated argument or follow a long chain of reasoning.

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.

If it’s going to come out eventually, better have it come out immediately.

You can’t blame gravity for falling in love.

There is, hidden or flaunted, a sword between the sexes till an entire marriage reconciles them.

Marriage destroyed my relationship with two wonderful men.

There is a huge need and a huge opportunity to get everyone in the world connected, to give everyone a voice and to help transform society for the future. The scale of the technology and infrastructure that must be built is unprecedented, and we believe this is the most important problem we can focus on.

When I was married, I definitely went through a lying period.

Marriage is this grand madness, and I think if people knew that, they would perhaps take it more seriously.

Don’t use words too big for the subject. Don’t say ‚infinitely‘ when you mean ‚very‘; otherwise you’ll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite.

The moment there is suspicion about a person’s motives, everything he does becomes tainted.

A friend is, as it were, a second self.

The degree of one’s emotions varies inversely with one’s knowledge of the facts.

I have a very good family. I’m very fortunate to have a very good family. I believe very strongly in the family. It’s one of the things we have in our platform, is to talk about it.

A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.

Our character is what we do when we think no one is looking.

I’ve been a lot more into Facebook and Twitter and Instagram, which was a bit complicated for me to understand the language of each social media, because they all talk in different ways. It’s a nice way for me to tell people I appreciate them, which I forget to do sometimes.

If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.

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.

Marriage is a wonderful institution, but who would want to live in an institution?

My wife has about everything I can think of.

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

The reason why men do not obey us, is because they see the mud at the bottom of our eye.

Real magic in relationships means an absence of judgment of others.

Vanity is as ill at ease under indifference as tenderness is under a love which it cannot return.

Men want to make women happy.

Women have always been the strong ones of the world. The men are always seeking from women a little pillow to put their heads down on. They are always longing for the mother who held them as infants.

The difficulty with this conversation is that it’s very different from most of the ones I’ve had of late. Which, as I explained, have mostly been with trees.

I like the way the stories of my relationships sound to music more than the way they look in print, in gossip columns or in me talking about them in interviews. I think it’s a better way of telling the stories.

Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

To make your children capable of honesty is the beginning of education.

Love is a better teacher than duty.

Bachelors know more about women than married men; if they didn’t they’d be married too.

Without words, without writing and without books there would be no history, there could be no concept of humanity.
