For what is love itself, for the one we love best? An enfolding of immeasurable cares which yet are better than any joys outside our love.

Jealousy is both reasonable and belongs to reasonable men, while envy is base and belongs to the base, for the one makes himself get good things by jealousy, while the other does not allow his neighbour to have them through envy.

The fame isn’t important to me. It’s a blessing to have. Having so many people that support me, that love me and listen to my music, is beautiful.

It is really very important while you are young to live in an environment in which there is no fear. Most of us, as we grow older, become frightened; we are afraid of living, afraid of losing a job, afraid of tradition, afraid of what the neighbours, or what the wife or husband would say, afraid of death.

Love and desire are the spirit’s wings to great deeds.

Marriage is a series of desperate arguments people feel passionately about.

Bachelors have consciences, married men have wives.

A family shares hardships and a connected history.

The greatest thing in family life is to take a hint when a hint is intended-and not to take a hint when a hint isn’t intended.

I know for sure that loves saves me and that it is here to save us all.

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

Better a broken promise than none at all.

Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you.

I have a brother and sister; my mother does not care for thought, and father, too busy with his briefs to notice what we do. He buys me many books, but begs me not to read them, because he fears they joggle the mind.

I think love is one of the purest things you can sing about. One of the best things you can sing about.

Bachelors know more about women than married men; if they didn’t they’d be married too.

It may happen sometimes that a long debate becomes the cause of a longer friendship. Commonly, those who dispute with one another at last agree.

There was one incident at a movie theater where my girl got mad at these guys who were talking behind us. I never looked back there, but she was like, ‚Will you all just shut up!‘ And I just got up and moved three rows in front. She was like, ‚What are you doing?!‘ I was like, ‚You better get up here! I don’t play the fighting games.‘

I never thought I’d have children; I never thought I’d be in love, I never thought I’d meet the right person. Having come from a broken home – you kind of accept that certain things feel like a fairy tale, and you just don’t look for them.

I love sleep; it’s my favorite.

I cannot remember a moment in my life when I have not felt the love of my family. We were a family that would have killed for each other – and we still are.

Remember that children, marriages, and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get.

Man is an idea, and a precious small idea once he turns his back on love.

I’m happiest with my family around me.

Love grows by giving. The love we give away is the only love we keep. The only way to retain love is to give it away.

What should young people do with their lives today? Many things, obviously. But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured.

Sometimes, you might meet somebody that you love that’s turning into a ‚they.‘ My key is invite them to Miami and take them to the ocean and let them jump off the boat in the ocean, on the sand bar, and cleanse off and pray and then go take a shower, and hopefully the ‚they‘ is out of you.

I’ll assure you this: I will have nothing to do with politics.

Many a good hanging prevents a bad marriage.

We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.
