Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

The men and women of Afghanistan are building a nation that is free, and proud, and fighting terror – and America is honored to be their friend.

Family and friendships are two of the greatest facilitators of happiness.

‚They‘ is… stay away from them, please. There is so many different definitions of ‚they.‘ You might have a personal ‚they.‘ They against you; they want you broken and miserable. They don’t like winners; they don’t like people who’s blessed. So everybody’s got a different ‚they.‘

People are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die.

You just do what you can and you have as much fun as possible.

Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice.

Never marry someone in hope that they’ll change later.

I purposely don’t talk about money, because people are already skeptical about TV preachers. But I do say that I want you to be blessed. To me, prosperity is having health, having great children, having peace, good relationships. It’s not about the money.

I’ve learned never to say never.

A man may be a fool and not know it, but not if he is married.

The world has grown suspicious of anything that looks like a happily married life.

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

Do not fear mistakes. You will know failure. Continue to reach out.

Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get – only with what you are expecting to give – which is everything.

Every day is a gift from God, no matter how old we are.

A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.

Fan the sinking flame of hilarity with the wing of friendship; and pass the rosy wine.

Life began with waking up and loving my mother’s face.

With realization of one’s own potential and self-confidence in one’s ability, one can build a better world.

If you are not allowed to laugh in heaven, I don’t want to go there.

There’s no happier person than a truly thankful, content person.

To live without Hope is to Cease to live.

Long before history began we men have got together apart from the women and done things. We had time.

It now appears that the way the universe began can indeed be determined, using imaginary time.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools.

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.

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.

I believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn’t need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe everything will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about.

Human nature is not nearly as bad as it has been thought to be.

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

MySpace is my wife… Facebook is my mistress.

I just want people to be the best thems and live the happiest lives possible.

It’s not possible to stop love.

Don’t ever call a guy first. The thing they want the most is whatever they can’t have. It sounds really juvenile, but it works.

I’m not really that girl who dreams about her wedding day.

I want someone who can trust that my big hands are going to take care of them.

Sweet are the uses of adversity which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in his head.

The most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people.

I definitely don’t think that money can buy you love. It can buy you affection but certainly not love.

Ultimately, who you choose to be in a relationship with and what you do in your bedroom is your business.

I think any man who lets a woman pick what he should wear… I mean, you gotta draw the line somewhere as a man. I see these guys, ‚My wife told me to wear this!‘ And I just shake my head.

Love is a better teacher than duty.

My aim is to create a happy society with genuine friendship. Friendship between Tibetan and Chinese peoples is very essential.

How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.

Assuming if there’s such a thing as reality, if you have a false relationship with it, how can you do anything but fail?

I should like to lie at your feet and die in your arms.

We’re so immaturely cynical as a culture. We’re not wise enough to look at an institution like marriage and to really things about what it means and what it signifies. It signifies a place where people can tie the ropes of their lives together so that they’re stronger. It signifies a place where people can tell the truth to one another.

It’s a funny thing that when a man hasn’t anything on earth to worry about, he goes off and gets married.

I’m not happy all the time, and I wouldn’t want to be because that would make me a shallow person. But I do try to find the good in everybody.

When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That’s relativity.

If we’re going to bring out the best in people, we, too, need to sow seeds of encouragement.

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

Hope is a waking dream.

When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.

Perfect friendship is the friendship of men who are good, and alike in excellence; for these wish well alike to each other qua good, and they are good in themselves.

I don’t hate women – they just sometimes make me mad.

Believe it or not, I make myself laugh. Sometimes when I have thoughts or say some things that are funny, it just makes me laugh, and I don’t mind laughing at it before you guys do.

If the Great Way perishes there will morality and duty. When cleverness and knowledge arise great lies will flourish. When relatives fall out with one another there will be filial duty and love. When states are in confusion there will be faithful servants.

What do I care about the purring of one who cannot love, like the cat?
