Marriage is scary to me, man.

We were born with a capacity to grow, love, marry, and form families.

Love is a better teacher than duty.

I’d be so bored if I wasn’t going out there, knowing that I could still do it. So, I’m going to work hard to be ready to go, and I still plan on playing for a long time.

With compassion you can die for other people, like the mother who can die for her child. You have the courage to say it because you are not afraid of losing anything, because you know that understanding and love is the foundation of happiness. But if you have fear of losing your status, your position, you will not have the courage to do it.

Some are reputed sick and some are not. It often happens that the sicker man is the nurse to the sounder.

I’m not denyin‘ the women are foolish. God Almighty made ‚em to match the men.

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

I know I have a responsibility to the fans.

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

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

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

In my divorce, I stood up and said to my ex-wife, ‚Hey, I messed up. This had nothing to do with you. I didn’t understand what marriage was. I cheated. I was wrong. We couldn’t fix it; it got worse. I stepped away because I didn’t want it to get any worse. You’re the mother of my kids – I don’t want to hate you.‘

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

I desire so to conduct the affairs of this administration that if at the end… I have lost every other friend on earth, I shall at least have one friend left, and that friend shall be down inside of me.

Always kiss your children goodnight, even if they’re already asleep.

The relationship to one’s fellow man is the relationship of prayer, the relationship to oneself is the relationship of striving; it is from prayer that one draws the strength for one’s striving.

Marrying an old bachelor is like buying second-hand furniture.

It’s not morbid to talk about death. Most people don’t worry about death, they worry about a bad death.

Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.

The degree of one’s emotions varies inversely with one’s knowledge of the facts.

If you fear making anyone mad, then you ultimately probe for the lowest common denominator of human achievement.

A taste for truth at any cost is a passion which spares nothing.

You can draw inspiration from anything. If you’re a good storyteller, you can take a dirty look somebody gives you, or if a guy you used to have flirtations with starts dating a new girl, or somebody you’re casually talking to says something that makes you so mad – you can create an entire scenario around that.

A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.

Beware of the man who does not return your blow: he neither forgives you nor allows you to forgive yourself.

Love has features which pierce all hearts, he wears a bandage which conceals the faults of those beloved. He has wings, he comes quickly and flies away the same.

Young love is wild and outrageous, laughing at moderation and blinding us to common sense.

No married man is genuinely happy if he has to drink worse whisky than he used to drink when he was single.

Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same.

I never felt settled or calm. You can’t really commit to life when you feel that.

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.

I don’t want to get into it, but if you know someone, it doesn’t mean you agree with everything they say or they do.

Marriage and family are ordained of God. The family is the most important social unit in time and in eternity. Under God’s great plan of happiness, families can be sealed in temples and be prepared to return to dwell in His holy presence forever. That is eternal life!

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.

I was very worried about my mother, growing up – a lot. I do not want my children to be worried about me.

A deep sense of love and belonging is an irreducible need of all people. We are biologically, cognitively, physically, and spiritually wired to love, to be loved, and to belong. When those needs are not met, we don’t function as we were meant to. We break. We fall apart. We numb. We ache. We hurt others. We get sick.

Disneyland is a work of love. We didn’t go into Disneyland just with the idea of making money.

Most people would rather give than get affection.

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.

It is not death or pain that is to be dreaded, but the fear of pain or death.

The deep, personal material of the latter half of your life is your children. You can write about your parents when they’re gone, but your children are still going to be here, and you’re going to want them to come and visit you in the nursing home.

I doubt that the Lord cares much which honorable vocation you choose. But He does care if you love one another and serve one another.

I just am committed wholeheartedly to theatre with no intermission.

The closest I ever came to getting married was just before I started singing. In fact, my first record saved my neck.

God to me is love.

I don’t know what’s better gettin‘ laid or gettin‘ paid.

The more I grow in popularity, the lonelier it gets. Because you don’t really know me. You just know this part of me. You fell in love with that. But it’s way more intricate than what meets the surface.

I love Brad in every state.

The mind of America is seized by a fatal dry rot – and it’s only a question of time before all that the mind controls will run amuck in a frenzy of stupid, impotent fear.

I’m kind of claustrophobic… It’s not even like enclosed spaces. It’s like I hate being stuck in one band, you know? Just being stuck is the biggest drag, for fear that, you know, just that you can’t get out.

I love food.
