No man wants to settle down. It happens. Eventually you’re going to bump into somebody that makes you go, ‚Hmm, I don’t mind seeing this person every day.‘

I’m more of an adventurous type than a relationship type.

I love New York. I’m a guy for whom a New York accent is a comforting thing.

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.

Men get to be a mixture of the charming mannerisms of the women they have known.

Someday I want to have children and give them all the love I never had.

The best way to know God is to love many things.

Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say good night till it be morrow.

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

Our affections as well as our bodies are in perpetual flux.

There is no such thing as a lovers‘ oath.

When I was married, I definitely went through a lying period.

Marriage is the death of hope.

I’m pretty sure I don’t have any songs that are about how much I love someone. They’re all either about, like, ‚I hate you,‘ or ‚You make me hate me.‘

To be clear: we have fights and problems like any other couple.

Sisters are brittle things. God was penurious with me, which makes me shrewd with Him. One is a dainty sum! One bird, one cage, one flight; one song in those far woods, as yet suspected by faith only!

When you have kids, you see life through different eyes. You feel love more deeply and are maybe a little more compassionate. It’s inevitable that that would make its way into your songwriting.

Oh, you weak, beautiful people who give up with such grace. What you need is someone to take hold of you – gently, with love, and hand your life back to you.

The moment people feel they know what to expect from you, your spell on them is broken. More: You have ceded them power.

You can scream at me, call me for a shoot at midnight, keep me waiting for hours – as long as what ends up on the screen is perfect.

Love and doubt have never been on speaking terms.

MySpace is my wife… Facebook is my mistress.

One of the things I’ve told men over and over and over and over is if you’re being rejected by all the women that you approach, it’s not the women!

Some people would claim that things like love, joy and beauty belong to a different category from science and can’t be described in scientific terms, but I think they can now be explained by the theory of evolution.

A lot of good love can happen in ten years.

When you really don’t like a guy, they’re all over you, and as soon as you act like you like them, they’re no longer interested.

Woman begins by resisting a man’s advances and ends by blocking his retreat.

Indifference and neglect often do much more damage than outright dislike.

Life is made of ever so many partings welded together.

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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

It’s fun to be hopelessly in love. It’s dangerous, but it’s fun.

I love those who yearn for the impossible.

My mom and I have always been there for each other. We had some tough times, but she was always there for me.

Only two things are necessary to keep one’s wife happy. One is to let her think she is having her own way, and the other is to let her have it.

I see when men love women. They give them but a little of their lives. But women when they love give everything.

If you want to become fully mature in the Lord, you must learn to love truth. Otherwise, you will always leave open a door of deception for the enemy to take what is meant to be yours.

For me, it’s about the way I carry myself and the way I treat other people. My relationship and how I feel about God and what He does for me, is something deeply personal. It’s where I came from, my family, I was brought up in a religious household and that’s very important to me.

Marriage is scary to me, man.

Men’s vows are women’s traitors!

Men shrink less from offending one who inspires love than one who inspires fear.

Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.

At the end of the day, we started playing football because we loved it.

To love and win is the best thing. To love and lose, the next best.

We write for the same reason that we walk, talk, climb mountains or swim the oceans – because we can. We have some impulse within us that makes us want to explain ourselves to other human beings. That’s why we paint, that’s why we dare to love someone – because we have the impulse to explain who we are.

I have learned that only two things are necessary to keep one’s wife happy. First, let her think she’s having her own way. And second, let her have it.

I don’t have to ‚freedom-kiss‘ my wife when what I really want to do is French-kiss her.

When we turn to one another for counsel we reduce the number of our enemies.

Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.

I’m not the girl who always has a boyfriend. I’m the girl who rarely has a boyfriend.

If music be the food of love, play on.

Society does not consist of individuals but expresses the sum of interrelations, the relations within which these individuals stand.

They dream in courtship, but in wedlock wake.

Romance should never begin with sentiment. It should begin with science and end with a settlement.

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.

I think I have had so much blessing – I’ve had my brother, who was brilliant – I think my family came closest to making a genius when they made my brother – Bailey was just all of that. He loved me.

There is no sincerer love than the love of food.

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

You can be rich in spirit, kindness, love and all those things that you can’t put a dollar sign on.

The day I think I’m not enjoying the game and contributing the way I would like to, I’ll hang up my boots.

Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in.
