Plant and your spouse plants with you; weed and you weed alone.

I’ve been pleased to work with so many wonderful stars through the years. This has been an amazing journey. I hope it continues.

Many people, especially young people, would like to be more independent and on their own. But it is very difficult and they suffer from feelings of isolation. I think that is one reason why young readers support my work.

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

Lovers often invest their first meetings with retrospective significance, as if to try to conjure the elements of the numinous out of the stubborn witness of the everyday.

Get someone else to blow your horn and the sound will carry twice as far.

My dad was like a stage mother he always pushed me to do what I wanted.

When I say I’m going to take care of a woman, I don’t just mean physically or sexually or romantically. I’m going to take care of her emotionally and spiritually. I’m going to take care of her in all ways. I take a lot of pride in that today.

Football is a team game and none can survive or excel without the help of the other.

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

Love is a really scary thing, and you never know what’s going to happen. It’s one of the most beautiful things in life, but it’s one of the most terrifying. It’s worth the fear because you have more knowledge, experience, you learn from people, and you have memories.

You can’t have it all all at once. Over my lifespan, I think I have had it all, but in given periods in time, things were rough. And if you have a caring life partner, you help the other person when that person needs it.

A word of encouragement from a teacher to a child can change a life. A word of encouragement from a spouse can save a marriage. A word of encouragement from a leader can inspire a person to reach her potential.

It is a common enough case, that of a man being suddenly captivated by a woman nearly the opposite of his ideal.

I’ll promise to go easier on drinking and to get to bed earlier, but not for you, fifty thousand dollars, or two-hundred and fifty thousand dollars will I give up women. They’re too much fun.

If I think too hard about a relationship, I’ll talk myself out of it.

Sometimes you can’t prioritise family and you feel guilty.

If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner.

No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit for doing it.

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

Remember that a gesture of friendship, no matter how small, is always appreciated.

To be recognized for the hard work my team and I put into ‚Starboy‘ is an honor.

First I shake the whole Apple tree, that the ripest might fall. Then I climb the tree and shake each limb, and then each branch and then each twig, and then I look under each leaf.

A woman can’t be alone. She needs a man. A man and a woman support and strengthen each other. She just can’t do it by herself.

I have lived and slept in the same bed with English countesses and Prussian farm women… no woman has excited passions among women more than I have.

How marriage ruins a man! It is as demoralizing as cigarettes, and far more expensive.

A holding company is a thing where you hand an accomplice the goods while the policeman searches you.

I always wanted a family.

You gotta understand: I believe a woman should praise the man, the king. If you holding it down for your woman, I feel like the woman should praise. And the man should praise the queen.

Fortunately, we have help from the media. I have to say this: I’m very grateful for the support and kindness that we’ve gotten. People have respected their privacy and in that way, I think, you know, no matter what people may feel about my husband’s policies or what have you, they care about children and that’s been good to see.

I have an urge to communicate. I think I’m a change from what it would be like dating a normal guy who doesn’t talk too much.

Marriage is the most wonderful thing ever.

Some people go to priests; others to poetry; I to my friends.

The thing that motivates me is a very common form of motivation. And that is, with other folks counting on me, it’s so easy to be motivated.

More than anything else, I want the folks back at home to think right of me.

Among us, who is above must be in service of the others. This doesn’t mean we have to wash each other’s feet every day, but we must help one another.

Our veterans who fall on hard times and find themselves without a home deserve more than just handwringing or kind words. They deserve real help that gets them back on their feet.
