Love is like war: easy to begin but very hard to stop.

I knew I was blessed with a gift of having both parents.

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.

Justice that love gives is a surrender, justice that law gives is a punishment.

But does that mean that war and violence are inevitable? I would argue not because we have also evolved this amazingly sophisticated intellect, and we are capable of controlling our innate behavior a lot of the time.

Love is an emotion that is based on an opinion of women that is impossible for those who have had any experience with them.

Since it is difficult to join them together, it is safer to be feared than to be loved when one of the two must be lacking.

The greatest thing in family life is to take a hint when a hint is intended-and not to take a hint when a hint isn’t intended.

There is no time for cut-and-dried monotony. There is time for work. And time for love. That leaves no other time!

Misfortune shows those who are not really friends.

My fans saw me get engaged, saw me make that woman my wife, me having kids, me divorcing, me talking about divorce before the divorce, me talking about my kids‘ reaction to that divorce.

One should always be in love. That is the reason one should never marry.

I will keep America moving forward, always forward, for a better America, for an endless enduring dream and a thousand Points of Light. This is my mission, and I will complete it.

Quitting doesn’t enter my mind.

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

Falling in love and having a relationship are two different things.

All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.

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.

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.

Your friend is your needs answered.

God tries you in certain, certain ways. Some people are rich, and they believe in God. They lose the money, things get hard, they get weak and quit going to church. Quit serving God like they did.

You have to believe in your process. You have to believe in the things that you are doing to help the team win. I think you have to take the good with the bad.

One thing Britons have always been celebrated for, and that is being able to stick it out in a tight place.

A difference of taste in jokes is a great strain on the affections.

My wife and I love each other very much.

I carry a small sheet of paper in my wallet that has written on it the names of people whose opinions of me matter. To be on that list, you have to love me for my strengths and struggles.

Law is always better than war.

If you believe in what you are doing, then let nothing hold you up in your work. Much of the best work of the world has been done against seeming impossibilities. The thing is to get the work done.

I feel like I’m the kind of guy that would have kids before getting married. The first thing would be kids.

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.

You can bear your own faults, and why not a fault in your wife?

For me to talk with Obama and the conversation I had with him, I was letting him know that me and my fans have a special connection, and it’s love, and I believe that love is the answer.

Love can consign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere.

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

I will seize fate by the throat; it shall certainly never wholly overcome me.

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

It’s hard to tell with these Internet startups if they’re really interested in building companies or if they’re just interested in the money. I can tell you, though: If they don’t really want to build a company, they won’t luck into it. That’s because it’s so hard that if you don’t have a passion, you’ll give up.

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.

I guess I have always been deeply terrified to really be someone’s wife since I know from life one cannot love another, ever, really.

You have to be tough and have a lot of faith.

There is always inequality in life. Some men are killed in a war and some men are wounded and some men never leave the country. Life is unfair.

Mostly, my flying has been solo, but the preparation for it wasn’t. Without my husband’s help and encouragement, I could not have attempted what I have. Ours has been a contented and reasonable partnership, he with his solo jobs and I with mine. But always with work and play together, conducted under a satisfactory system of dual control.

The only way of catching a train I have ever discovered is to miss the train before.

Friendship… is not something you learn in school. But if you haven’t learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven’t learned anything.

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.
