No one has ever become poor by giving.

I have a big gay and lesbian following and they’ve been very loyal and kind to me.

Sheep, like people, are ungovernable when hungry.

Neither a man nor a crowd nor a nation can be trusted to act humanely or to think sanely under the influence of a great fear.

Dinner was made for eating, not for talking.

In truth, politeness is artificial good humor, it covers the natural want of it, and ends by rendering habitual a substitute nearly equivalent to the real virtue.

The superior man does not, even for the space of a single meal, act contrary to virtue. In moments of haste, he cleaves to it. In seasons of danger, he cleaves to it.

No sane man will dance.

The greatest virtues are those which are most useful to other persons.

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

Well look, I mean, I think that prayer and holy water, and things like that are all fine. They don’t do any good, but they don’t necessarily do any harm. It’s touching to be thought of in that way. It makes up for those who tell me that I’ve got my just desserts.

Most of the time, I’m not even working; I’m just helping people, because I feel that I am too lucky.

When the kids are laughing in the audience, I tear up, I’m so happy I did a nice thing.

Any of us can be happy and have a good attitude when everything is going our way. But I believe it’s the real test of your character and of your faith to say, ‚Things are not going our way, but I’m still being good to people; I’m still attending church; I still have a good attitude.‘

I’m crepuscular.

No one would remember the Good Samaritan if he’d only had good intentions; he had money as well.

Never speak to an invalid from behind, nor from the door, nor from any distance from him, nor when he is doing anything. The official politeness of servants in these things is so grateful to invalids, that many prefer, without knowing why, having none but servants about them.

It is one of the beautiful compensations in this life that no one can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.

There is as much greatness of mind in acknowledging a good turn, as in doing it.

Of the billionaires I have known, money just brings out the basic traits in them. If they were jerks before they had money, they are simply jerks with a billion dollars.

Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.

I’ve learned people are watching, so don’t do nothing stupid.

If you’re nice to me I’ll never write anything bad about you.

There seems to be some perverse human characteristic that likes to make easy things difficult.

I’m very much a creature of habit.

A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone’s feelings unintentionally.

One of the great attractions of patriotism – it fulfills our worst wishes. In the person of our nation we are able, vicariously, to bully and cheat. Bully and cheat, what’s more, with a feeling that we are profoundly virtuous.

A lot of guys are able to separate how they act off the court versus how they act on the court.

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

I have a son, who is my heart. A wonderful young man, daring and loving and strong and kind.

Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.

Somewhere it is written that parents who are critical of other people’s children and publicly admit they can do better are asking for it.

We just seem to have lost all our morals and principles and values these days.

The first question which the priest and the Levite asked was: ‚If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?‘ But… the good Samaritan reversed the question: ‚If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?‘

If you can’t feed a hundred people, then feed just one.

What do we live for, if not to make life less difficult for each other?

Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.

Be generous with kindly words, especially about those who are absent.

It’s not a slam at you when people are rude, it’s a slam at the people they’ve met before.

Pity may represent little more than the impersonal concern which prompts the mailing of a check, but true sympathy is the personal concern which demands the giving of one’s soul.

I don’t do any vulgar movements.

If you are not being bullied all I would say – cause I like to talk about the other side of it as well – is you know, be someone that nurtures, and if there’s someone in your class that maybe doesn’t have a lot of friends, be the person that sits with them in the cafeteria sometimes; be the bigger person.

The work an unknown good man has done is like a vein of water flowing hidden underground, secretly making the ground green.

When I was a kid, I never did funny things to get attention. I was never a funny person. I was never, like, ‚Oh, wow. I could say this some day on stage.‘

The business schools reward difficult complex behavior more than simple behavior, but simple behavior is more effective.

Politeness is, you know, is a wonderful thing. Manners are in fact, really important thing. But remember, Jesus didn’t have many manners as we now know.

If you are ever in doubt as to whether to kiss a pretty girl, always give her the benefit of the doubt.

Some men have a necessity to be mean, as if they were exercising a faculty which they had to partially neglect since early childhood.

It is necessary to help others, not only in our prayers, but in our daily lives. If we find we cannot help others, the least we can do is to desist from harming them.

There is nothing in which people more betray their character than in what they laugh at.

What do you regard as most humane? To spare someone shame.

Gays are some of the nicest, kindest, most loving people in the world.

Better do a good deed near at home than go far away to burn incense.

In assisting his ‚neighbour‘ every day to the best of his ability, and keeping truth, honesty, and kindness perpetually before him, the Boy Scout, with as little formality as possible, is pleasing God.

We should give as we would receive, cheerfully, quickly, and without hesitation; for there is no grace in a benefit that sticks to the fingers.

Savages we call them because their manners differ from ours.

The kindness that’s been shown to me, by doctors as well as my family and my friends, it’s really saved my life.

Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.

Almost all absurdity of conduct arises from the imitation of those who we cannot resemble.

If you treat people right they will treat you right… ninety percent of the time.
