The rule of friendship means there should be mutual sympathy between them, each supplying what the other lacks and trying to benefit the other, always using friendly and sincere words.

I’ve never had a dislike for men. I’ve been badly treated by some. But I’ve been loved greatly by some. I married a lot of them.

Do I not destroy my enemies when I make them my friends?

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

When the people we love stop paying attention, trust begins to slip away and hurt starts seeping in.

Thanks to my fans that have been with me from the beginning, I was able to sell out arenas on my own.

I think what it really is, is that I date creative people. And I think that what intimidates them is not my purse; it’s my mind.

I have a personal ambition to live my life honestly and honor the true love that I’ve had and also the people I’ve had around me.

Love is like a virus. It can happen to anybody at any time.

They do not love that do not show their love.

Everyone needs a coach. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a basketball player, a tennis player, a gymnast or a bridge player.

The only way to get love is to be lovable. It’s very irritating if you have a lot of money. You’d like to think you could write a check: ‚I’ll buy a million dollars‘ worth of love.‘ But it doesn’t work that way. The more you give love away, the more you get.

I don’t like being alone.

We do not so much need the help of our friends as the confidence of their help in need.

The Revolution did not assume a socialist nature because of support from the U.S.S.R.; it was the other way around: support from the U.S.S.R. was produced by the socialist nature of the Cuban Revolution. To such a degree, that when the U.S.S.R. disappears, Cuba keeps on being socialist.

Although a skillful flatterer is a most delightful companion if you have him all to yourself, his taste becomes very doubtful when he takes to complimenting other people.

All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That’s his.

No woman ever hates a man for being in love with her, but many a woman hate a man for being a friend to her.

Love is an interesting thing.

My wife and I don’t compete. We know each other’s preferences, and we work to provide those for each other. One will take over when the other is faced with something he or she dislikes. That’s what friends do.

I was adored once too.

Marriage is neither heaven nor hell, it is simply purgatory.

A family looks for ways to support and inspire one another.

God is, even though the whole world deny him. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.

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

Alimony is like buying hay for a dead horse.

I’ve married somebody who I knew for 14 years. So, I’m just living with a friend. All through my ups and downs in football, from winning the I-League to losing the ISL final, she has been a source of great support.

I have a terrifying long list of fears. Literally everything – diseases, spiders… and people getting tired of me.

When you’re supposed to be close and friends in the film, the moment you’re talking as friends off the set, it makes it that much better when you’re filming.

I believe a marriage is between a man and a woman.

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

You know, you can only lead them from behind.

A friend is, as it were, a second self.

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

I think that it’s okay to be mad at someone who hurt you. This isn’t about, like, the pageantry of trying to seem like nothing affects you.

My experiences in life are getting bigger and better. The more stuff I do, the more stuff I talk about – having kids, traveling, going through relationship problems, dealing with things in my own family. All that stuff builds character.

You can’t be in love with a Google search.

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.

What sweetness is left in life, if you take away friendship? Robbing life of friendship is like robbing the world of the sun. A true friend is more to be esteemed than kinsfolk.

A man is in general better pleased when he has a good dinner upon his table, than when his wife talks Greek.

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.

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

Family quarrels are bitter things. They don’t go according to any rules. They’re not like aches or wounds, they’re more like splits in the skin that won’t heal because there’s not enough material.

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

Romania, which had the worst dictator in Eastern Europe, Ceausescu, he was a darling of the West. The United States and Britain loved him. He was supported until the last minute.

I always wanted to be loved.

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

House guests should be regarded as perishables: Leave them out too long and they go bad.

I am for people. I can’t help it.

You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.

The people you choose to have around you make all the difference. My family and close friends keep me grounded. You have to have a mind of your own and a strong head on your shoulders. Cricket is the most important thing to me, so the rest of it pales in comparison.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

You want a friend in Washington? Get a dog.

You can’t blame gravity for falling in love.

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

When a person is going through hell, and she encounters someone who went through hellish hell and survived, then she can say, ‚Mine is not so bad as all that. She came through, and so can I.‘

She never envisioned a legal career for me, but she did think it was very important that I be able to support myself, and I think she would be pleased to see what has become of me.

The mind of a 19-year-old is very different from the mind of a 26-year-old. You grow. You get into better relationships. You experience more, meet more people, better people. But when you’re in a dark hole at an earlier point in your life – you write about the mindset you’re in at that moment.

A pair of powerful spectacles has sometimes sufficed to cure a person in love.

I met my husband before I became a star, and he doesn’t care about any of it.

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