I’m the most recognized and loved man that ever lived cuz there weren’t no satellites when Jesus and Moses were around, so people far away in the villages didn’t know about them.

Men who think that a woman’s past love affairs lessen her love for them are usually stupid and weak.

Once upon a time my political opponents honored me as possessing the fabulous intellectual and economic power by which I created a worldwide depression all by myself.

The knowledge of God is very far from the love of Him.

Rhetoric may be defined as the faculty of observing in any given case the available means of persuasion. This is not a function of any other art.

The more you know the less you need to say.

Love is too young to know what conscience is.

We teach that God’s love for His children is infinite.

Where there’s marriage without love, there will be love without marriage.

I never thought I’d have children; I never thought I’d be in love, I never thought I’d meet the right person. Having come from a broken home – you kind of accept that certain things feel like a fairy tale, and you just don’t look for them.

To love rightly is to love what is orderly and beautiful in an educated and disciplined way.

The real lover is the man who can thrill you just by touching your head or smiling into your eyes – or just by staring into space.

I’m not saying that love always takes you to heaven. Your life can become a nightmare. But that said, it is worth taking the risk.

My first phone was two tin cans tied together with string, and it worked pretty good.

My wife doesn’t even want to spend 2 hours with me.

Words may show a man’s wit but actions his meaning.

Assassination has never changed the history of the world.

You carry Mother Earth within you. She is not outside of you. Mother Earth is not just your environment. In that insight of inter-being, it is possible to have real communication with the Earth, which is the highest form of prayer.

Judas betrayed Jesus. Lady Red betrayed John Dillinger. Those things happen.

I have been so great in boxing they had to create an image like Rocky, a white image on the screen, to counteract my image in the ring. America has to have its white images, no matter where it gets them. Jesus, Wonder Woman, Tarzan and Rocky.

To be social is to be forgiving.

Happiness is within the reach of everyone, rich or poor. Yet comparatively few people are happy. I believe the reason for this is that the majority don’t recognize happiness even when it is within their grasp.

It is a true rule that love is ever rewarded, either with the reciproque or with an inward and secret contempt.

A pair of powerful spectacles has sometimes sufficed to cure a person in love.

I believe that my parents did wonderful things for us.

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

When the people we love stop paying attention, trust begins to slip away and hurt starts seeping in.

The loss of young first love is so painful that it borders on the ludicrous.

There is love enough in this world for everybody, if people will just look.

I know I’m talented, but I wasn’t put here to sing. I was put here to be a wife and a mom and look after my family. I love what I do, but it’s not where it begins and ends.

The truth is I love being alive. And I love feeling free. So if I can’t have those things then I feel like a caged animal and I’d rather not be in a cage. I’d rather be dead. And it’s real simple. And I think it’s not that uncommon.

Love in its essence is spiritual fire.

If you want peace, you don’t talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies.

No one can lie, no one can hide anything, when he looks directly into someone’s eyes.

Why should it be essential to love rarely in order to love much?

Undeserved praise causes more pangs of conscience later than undeserved blame, but probably only for this reason, that our power of judgment are more completely exposed by being over praised than by being unjustly underestimated.

Everything becomes a little different as soon as it is spoken out loud.

The ideas I stand for are not mine. I borrowed them from Socrates. I swiped them from Chesterfield. I stole them from Jesus. And I put them in a book. If you don’t like their rules, whose would you use?

Love begins by taking care of the closest ones – the ones at home.

I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.

People react to fear, not love; they don’t teach that in Sunday School, but it’s true.

As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.

You don’t have to deserve your mother’s love. You have to deserve your father’s.

When you have really exhausted an experience you always reverence and love it.

The desire for possession is insatiable, to such a point that it can survive even love itself. To love, therefore, is to sterilize the person one loves.

I think I am smart unless I am really, really in love, and then I am ridiculously stupid.

If we accept being talked to any kind of a way, then we are telling ourselves we are not quite worth the best. And if we have the effrontery to talk to anybody with less than courtesy, we tell ourselves and the world we are not very intelligent.

The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything.

If I love you, what business is it of yours?

The superior man acts before he speaks, and afterwards speaks according to his action.

I have an answering machine in my car. It says, I’m home now. But leave a message and I’ll call when I’m out.

If you ever go to a music session, you’ll notice that the musicians can sit down and start playing right away, and everyone knows what to do. Of course they’re reading it, but the conductor can tweak little things, and you can take that back to directing motion pictures.

If you’re yelling you’re the one who’s lost control of the conversation.

I love my friends and my past, and it’s made me who I am.

On TV the people can see it. On radio you’ve got to create it.

We live in an image society. Speeches are not what anybody cares about; what they care about is the picture.

What women need to understand is that men don’t communicate. It’s not intentional or on purpose. We’re just not as emotional. You ladies feel like you have to express yourselves.
