Love can do much, but duty more.

Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up.

Man’s only true happiness is to live in hope of something to be won by him. Reverence something to be worshipped by him, and love something to be cherished by him, forever.

I never promise anything. I don’t promise anything to my mum. I don’t promise anything to the supporters.

I look upon every day to be lost, in which I do not make a new acquaintance.

As apostles and prophets, we are concerned not only for our children and grandchildren but for yours as well – and for each of God’s children.

Time is precious, but truth is more precious than time.

Couples are wholes and not wholes, what agrees disagrees, the concordant is discordant. From all things one and from one all things.

It is very hard to not be able to engage with people in a real and honest way because they either want something from me, or they see me as something that I simply am not.

There’s a deceptive sin that can keep us from walking in love: pride. It’s deceptive because when you have pride, you’re usually too proud to admit it. I know this because I used to have teachings on pride and they didn’t sell well.

Marriage has no guarantees. If that’s what you’re looking for, go live with a car battery.

Whoever won’t fight when the President calls him, deserves to be kicked back in his hole and kept there.

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

If you remember me, then I don’t care if everyone else forgets.

I had rather be first in a village than second at Rome.

Love is trembling happiness.

I always put myself out there. I’m not afraid to commit to something.

There’s nothing hippie about my picture of Christ. The Gospels paint a picture of a very demanding, sometimes divisive love, but love it is.

Like every parent, when you start your family, your life completely changes. And you completely live for someone else. I find that the most extraordinary thing. Your life is handed over to someone else. From that moment on, they come first in every choice you make. It’s the most wonderful thing.

And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.

Disagreement is something normal.

A man is in general better pleased when he has a good dinner upon his table, than when his wife talks Greek.

Part of me feels you can’t say you were truly in love if it didn’t last. If I end up getting married and having kids, that’s when I’ll know it’s real – because it lasted.

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.

To be intimate with a married man, when my own father cheated on my mother, is not something I could forgive. I could not look at myself in the morning if I did that. I wouldn’t be attracted to a man who would cheat on his wife.

A people do not throw their geniuses away. And if they are thrown away, it is our duty as artists and as witnesses for the future to collect them again for the sake of our children and, if necessary, bone by bone.

Marriage is like putting your hand into a bag of snakes in the hope of pulling out an eel.

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

I’ve found that men I’ve dated who are in the same business can be really competitive. I’ve found a great group of girlfriends in the same business who aren’t competitive, but a few times guys have started comparing careers and it has been… challenging.

Bob Dylan is like an alien on this earth, and I love him! I cried when I saw him play live because I was so close to him.

All happiness or unhappiness solely depends upon the quality of the object to which we are attached by love.

God to me is love.

My mother loved children – she would have given anything if I had been one.

Life cannot subsist in society but by reciprocal concessions.

It is impossible to love and to be wise.

If a man does not make new acquaintances as he advances through life, he will soon find himself left alone. A man, sir, should keep his friendship in a constant repair.

In God’s family, there are no outsiders, no enemies.

Love is not altogether a delirium, yet it has many points in common therewith.

I don’t like people going behind my back.

The highest proof of the spirit is love. Love the eternal thing which can already on earth possess as it really is.

What’s really hard is that you could care a lot for someone and not want to live with him anymore.

So while an incredible amount of progress has been made, on this fifth anniversary, I wanted to come here and tell the people of this city directly: My administration is going to stand with you – and fight alongside you – until the job is done. Until New Orleans is all the way back, all the way.

Smiles are the language of love.

I love singing. I love it, and it doesn’t feel like a chore. It’s an expression.

No evil dooms us hopelessly except the evil we love, and desire to continue in, and make no effort to escape from.

We have to distrust each other. It is our only defense against betrayal.

All my stepchildren carried the burden of my fame. Sometimes they would read terrible things about me, and I’d worry about whether it would hurt them. I would tell them: ‚Don’t hide these things from me. I’d rather you ask me these things straight out, and I’ll answer all your questions.‘

I am a grafter.

Jump out the window if you are the object of passion. Flee it if you feel it. Passion goes, boredom remains.

Getting a great idea with song writing is a lot like love. You don’t know why this one is different, but it is. You don’t know why this one is better, but it is. It sticks in your head, and you can’t stop thinking about it.

In married life three is company and two none.

Consider the fellow. He never spends his time telling you about his previous night’s date. You get the idea he has eyes only for you and wouldn’t think of looking at another woman.

Whatever is done for love always occurs beyond good and evil.

Like associates with like.

I just am committed wholeheartedly to theatre with no intermission.

My mother was a full-time mother. She didn’t have much of her own career, her own life, her own experiences… everything was for her children. I will never be as good a mother as she was. She was just grace incarnate. She was the most generous, loving – she’s better than me.

When you face a ‚performance‘ that might provoke the ‚I’m scared‘ response, choose love and approach your opportunity as a chance to dance with God. It’s more fun than ‚Dancing with the Stars!‘

Man does not control his own fate. The women in his life do that for him.

Tell your wife often how terrific she looks.

So long as I’m Commander-in-Chief, we will sustain the strongest military the world has ever known. When you take off the uniform, we will serve you as well as you’ve served us – because no one who fights for this country should have to fight for a job, or a roof over their head, or the care that they need when they come home.

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