No one loves the man whom he fears.

If you think you can slander a woman into loving you, or a man into voting for you, try it till you are satisfied.

Never go on trips with anyone you do not love.

The finest works of art are precious, among other reasons, because they make it possible for us to know, if only imperfectly and for a little while, what it actually feels like to think subtly and feel nobly.

Wherever the art of medicine is loved, there is also a love of humanity.

A woman is the only thing I am afraid of that I know will not hurt me.

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

Masses are always breeding grounds of psychic epidemics.

If we love our country, we should also love our countrymen.

It’s with bad sentiments that one makes good novels.

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.

The first and simplest emotion which we discover in the human mind, is curiosity.

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.‘

To have in general but little feeling, seems to be the only security against feeling too much on any particular occasion.

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.

There is a ‚sanctity‘ involved with bringing a child into this world: it is better than bombing one out of it.

It is not our purpose to become each other; it is to recognize each other, to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is.

We can fear things into existence. Fear looks into the future and imagines the worst that can happen.

A noble person attracts noble people, and knows how to hold on to them.

Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye.

I take my wife everywhere, but she keeps finding her way back.

My wife thinks she’s better than me at puzzles. I haven’t given in on that one yet.

For me, often, there’s such a cloud of melancholia about knowing I’m going to have to leave my daughter on her own. I don’t know what age that is going to be, thank God. It just doubles me up in grief.

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

Only the unloved hate; the unloved and the unnatural.

We want justice, but at the same time, we gotta love and come together and bring unity, and I feel it’s gonna happen.

It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.

I’ve been careful in love. I’ve been careless in love. And I’ve had adventures I wouldn’t trade for anything.

I have no human feelings.

Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.

I know that a large part of my fan base is gay. They’ve shown me love from the start. I mean in this industry, everyone from my glam people to my dancers are gay. You can’t be homophobic in this line of work – I’m a pop star!

I can analyze people’s intentions. Immediately. That’s just a warning. To everyone.

Anger makes dull men witty, but it keeps them poor.

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

Isn’t it funny how babies laugh a lot? I read a toddler, a young child laughs 300 times a day. The average adult laughs, like, four times a day. God put it in them. He put the laugh in us, but I think sometimes we let life get us down, you know, have bad breaks, and we lose our breaks.

No matter what, I always make it home for Christmas. I love to go to my Tennessee Mountain Home and invite all of my nieces and nephews and their spouses and kids and do what we all like to do – eat, laugh, trade presents and just enjoy each other… and sometimes I even dress up like Santa Claus!

You know, God has some really weird kids, and I find it hard to be in their company most of the time.

It used to be the case, like you’d switch jobs, and then maybe you wouldn’t keep in touch with all the people that you knew from that old job, just because it was too hard. But one of the things that Facebook does is it makes it really easy to just stay in touch with all these people.

It always seems odd to me that the fundamental laws of physics, when discovered, can appear in so many different forms that are not apparently identical at first, but, with a little mathematical fiddling, you can show the relationship.

If there is one thing I fear less than everything else, it is, I believe, persecution for my opinions. There are a good many points about which I may be diffident, but when it comes to questions of Truth and intellectual independence, there is no holding me – I can envisage no finer end than to sacrifice oneself for a conviction.

I kind of love Cole Miller.

Love is when the other person’s happiness is more important than your own.

If you want to know who your friends are, get yourself a jail sentence.

It is better to be deceived by one’s friends than to deceive them.

He that loves to be flattered is worthy o‘ the flatterer.

I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality… I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.

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.

It may be possible to gild pure gold, but who can make his mother more beautiful?

Brad was a huge surprise to me. I think we were both the last two people who were looking for a relationship. I certainly wasn’t. I was quite content to be a single mom with Mad.

To me, if you’re trying to impress a girl, get a date, they’re gonna like that more because you’re a confident guy. That’s what it comes down to.

I am radically, insanely, nutty in love with Jesus!

I would never win an award for not loving pizza.

How can one preach goodness and love to men without at the same time offering them an interpretation of the World that justifies this goodness and this love?

The world is a fine place and worth the fighting for and I hate very much to leave it.

The good times of today, are the sad thoughts of tomorrow.

In each soul, God loves and partly saves the whole world which that soul sums up in an incommunicable and particular way.

Marriage is like a game of chess except the board is flowing water, the pieces are made of smoke and no move you make will have any effect on the outcome.

If you do not understand a man you cannot crush him. And if you do understand him, very probably you will not.

Some people love so hard that they can’t control those emotions when they’re at their deepest point.
