Remember that no relationship is a total waste of time. You can always learn something about yourself.

Love is an interesting thing. Perhaps I’ve never been in love before – I don’t really know? I think I have. I guess it’s subjective in that way.

This is what is hardest: to close the open hand because one loves.

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.

A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have.

My most brilliant achievement was my ability to be able to persuade my wife to marry me.

Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.

If I like a thing, it just sticks after once reading it or hearing it.

I think everyone should experience defeat at least once during their career. You learn a lot from it.

The only source of knowledge is experience.

To love is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.

I keep working because I learn something new all the time.

What we hope ever to do with ease, we must learn first to do with diligence.

I maintain that, if everyone knew what others said about him, there would not be four friends in the world.

It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.

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 just owe almost everything to my father and it’s passionately interesting for me that the things that I learned in a small town, in a very modest home, are just the things that I believe have won the election.

Life’s too short to deal with other people’s insecurities.

For it is mutual trust, even more than mutual interest that holds human associations together. Our friends seldom profit us but they make us feel safe. Marriage is a scheme to accomplish exactly that same end.

Working with a guy like Ice Cube on ‚Ride Along,‘ you learn so much. He’s a guy who produces, writes, and directs, so you watch and learn and ask questions. As you go, you learn and figure out what you should and shouldn’t do. I do nothing but soak up information.

A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.

I want to play a fireman and a spy. I want to learn special effects.

Country radio is much more like a family than any other group of people that I’ve met.

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

I’m a human being and I fall in love and sometimes I don’t have control of every situation.

An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools.

When a man has once loved a woman he will do anything for her except continue to love her.

Perfect friendship is the friendship of men who are good, and alike in excellence; for these wish well alike to each other qua good, and they are good in themselves.

There are slavish souls who carry their appreciation for favors done them so far that they strangle themselves with the rope of gratitude.

To witness two lovers is a spectacle for the gods.

I know that I’m not the easiest person to live with. The challenge I put on myself is so great that the person I live with feels himself challenged. I bring a lot to bear, and I don’t know how not to.

I think the perfection of love is that it’s not perfect.

It’s always wonderful to get to know women, with the mystery and the joy and the depth. If you can make a woman laugh, you’re seeing the most beautiful thing on God’s Earth.

I may neither choose who I would, nor refuse who I dislike; so is the will of a living daughter curbed by the will of a dead father.

I desire no future that will break the ties with the past.

And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.

I want to be a man who is truthful and who won’t let pride get in the way of my ripping myself open to my partner and saying, ‚Here I am. This is me.‘ I feel there’s something powerful when a man reaches a point in his life when he can be completely vulnerable.

When you revolutionize education, you’re taking the very mechanism of how people be smarter and do new things, and you’re priming the pump for so many incredible things.

I’ve seen my friends take someone back after they’ve cheated because they fit perfectly.

To conceal anything from those to whom I am attached, is not in my nature. I can never close my lips where I have opened my heart.

Do not tell fish stories where the people know you; but particularly, don’t tell them where they know the fish.

A broken heart is a very pleasant complaint for a man in London if he has a comfortable income.

A slender acquaintance with the world must convince every man that actions, not words, are the true criterion of the attachment of friends.

You don’t sign up for a divorce when you get married. It’s very painful. But it’s taught me a great deal about myself.

There’s a big difference between falling in love with someone and falling in love with someone and getting married. Usually, after you get married, you fall in love with the person even more.

Many a good hanging prevents a bad marriage.

When I found somebody who I fell in love with, it made me feel different than I felt the rest of the day. It was electrifying. That’s what inspired the ‚Off to the Races‘ melodies. That’s one of the times when you’re feeling electrified by someone else and they make you happy to be alive.

Intimates are predestined.

Education is important because it prepares you for life.

One of the most important things you learn from the Internet is that there is no ‚them‘ out there. It’s just an awful lot of ‚us.‘

I never had a mother. I suppose a mother is one to whom you hurry when you are troubled.

Jealousy is just love and hate at the same time.

I’m just looking to learn, grow, stay focused, and become a better fighter and a better athlete.

The more that learn to read the less learn how to make a living. That’s one thing about a little education. It spoils you for actual work. The more you know the more you think somebody owes you a living.

The object of teaching a child is to enable him to get along without his teacher.

When people say ‚marriage‘ to me… It’s always a means to an end. Everyone’s so in a rush to define the relationship.

I can’t deal with someone wanting to take a relationship backward or needing space or cheating on you.

I think we’re doing a dreadful job of educating.

Women. They are a complete mystery.

People think, because we’re young, we aren’t complex, but that’s not true. We deal with life and love and broken hearts in the same way a woman a few years older might.

Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.
