If you are ever in doubt as to whether to kiss a pretty girl, always give her the benefit of the doubt.

My favorite thing in life is writing about life, specifically the parts of life concerning love. Because, as far as I’m concerned, love is absolutely everything.

Example is leadership.

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

I’ve learned that we all change constantly. It’s rare to find that person who is growing with you in the same way at the same time, who encourages you to grow.

It is really very important while you are young to live in an environment in which there is no fear. Most of us, as we grow older, become frightened; we are afraid of living, afraid of losing a job, afraid of tradition, afraid of what the neighbours, or what the wife or husband would say, afraid of death.

If we could first know where we are, and whither we are tending, we could then better judge what to do, and how to do it.

If you ever see The Rock working out in the gym, don’t think you can just go up and disturb his workout and expect him to take a picture. He’s there to work, so kindly just pass the silverback on by or he’ll rip your face off.

It doesn’t matter which side of the fence you get off on sometimes. What matters most is getting off. You cannot make progress without making decisions.

The die is cast.

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

Many receive advice, only the wise profit from it.

Men are by nature merely indifferent to one another; but women are by nature enemies.

Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.

In too much of the West, everyone wants the guarantee of safety, and never having to make any decisions.

All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That’s his.

Sometimes if you want to get rid of the gun, you have to pick the gun up.

There are risks and costs to action. But they are far less than the long range risks of comfortable inaction.

No matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it.

To summarize, draft resistance can make use of the inegalitarian nature of American society as a technique for increasing the cost of American aggression, and it threatens values that are important to those in a decision-making position.

There isn’t any formula or method. You learn to love by loving – by paying attention and doing what one thereby discovers has to be done.

It’s been my experience in politics that you can try and plan it out: ‚I’m going to hit the three ball which will hit the eight ball.‘ You’ve just got to go run and try to do everything right. And then have a little luck.

It’s so much easier to like people, and to let people in, to trust them until they prove that you should do otherwise. The alternative is being an iceberg.

It is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things.

Love is a state of being.

Nowadays, manners are easy and life is hard.

There are horrible people who, instead of solving a problem, tangle it up and make it harder to solve for anyone who wants to deal with it. Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.

The average Hollywood film star’s ambition is to be admired by an American, courted by an Italian, married to an Englishman and have a French boyfriend.

Talk well of the absent whenever you have the opportunity.

Seeing is not always believing.

Want of foresight, unwillingness to act when action would be simple and effective, lack of clear thinking, confusion of counsel until the emergency comes, until self-preservation strikes its jarring gong – these are the features which constitute the endless repetition of history.

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

Before I lost my voice, it was slurred, so only those close to me could understand, but with the computer voice, I found I could give popular lectures. I enjoy communicating science. It is important that the public understands basic science, if they are not to leave vital decisions to others.

Many people when they fall in love look for a little haven of refuge from the world, where they can be sure of being admired when they are not admirable, and praised when they are not praiseworthy.

Marriage is the death of hope.

Those who govern, having much business on their hands, do not generally like to take the trouble of considering and carrying into execution new projects. The best public measures are therefore seldom adopted from previous wisdom, but forced by the occasion.

If you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead, get married.

In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock.

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

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.

I haven’t been faithful to my own advice in the past. I will in the future.

One lesson you better learn if you want to be in politics is that you never go out on a golf course and beat the President.

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.

A lot of good love can happen in ten years.

A man has a tendency to accept you the way you are, while most women immediately start to pick flaws and want to change you.

She’s been married so many times she has rice marks on her face.

If you cry over a guy, then your friends can’t date him. It can’t even be considered.

Eating is so intimate. It’s very sensual. When you invite someone to sit at your table and you want to cook for them, you’re inviting a person into your life.

Every once in a while I get the highly inappropriate proposal which is like, ‚Wow, Really! You don’t even know me and I don’t know you at all, and you want that to happen? Tonight? Ok, I get off work at 7.30.‘

We can never learn too much of His will towards us, too much of His messages and His advice. The Bible is His word and its study gives at once the foundation for our faith and an inspiration to battle onward in the fight against the tempter.

I don’t want to spend money the club doesn’t have; I don’t want to hold a player that doesn’t want to stay.

Politics doesn’t make strange bedfellows – marriage does.

I will never be happy without having someone. Going to sleep alone kills me.

Never allow a person to tell you no who doesn’t have the power to say yes.

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.

Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet.

If I’d married someone in show business, there’d be too much competition.

I’ve laid my friends bare.

Do I wear a helmet? Ugh. I do when I’m riding through a precarious part of town, meaning Midtown traffic. But when I’m riding on secure protected lanes or on the paths that run along the Hudson or through Central Park – no, I don’t wear the dreaded helmet then.

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.
