We make our friends; we make our enemies; but God makes our next door neighbour.

I’ve learned that usually, the less I know about other people, the better off I am.

Love has reasons which reason cannot understand.

Whenever you’re in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude.

I’m a girls‘ girl. I have guy friends, but the problem with having guy friends is, like, I always get linked to them, and they’ll end up in a slideshow of people I’ve apparently dated on the Internet.

A woman may very well form a friendship with a man, but for this to endure, it must be assisted by a little physical antipathy.

My wife thinks she’s better than me at puzzles. I haven’t given in on that one yet.

I do love the films I’ve done in the past. I work hard in my movies and my friends work hard and we’re trying to make people laugh and I’m very proud of that.

A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?

Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it.

We really have to understand the person we want to love. If our love is only a will to possess, it is not love. If we only think of ourselves, if we know only our own needs and ignore the needs of the other person, we cannot love.

Keeping score is for games, not friendships.

Man will do many things to get himself loved, he will do all things to get himself envied.

There is no such thing as society: there are individual men and women, and there are families.

One of the most mawkish of human delusions is the notion that friendship should be eternal, or, at all events, life-long, and that any act which puts a term to it is somehow discreditable.

For me, one of the toughest things about Valentine’s Day is that it gets geared up as the day to profess your love. See, T-E-S-T – that’s a bad word that doesn’t go with L-O-V-E.

Who could refrain that had a heart to love and in that heart courage to make love known?

It is best to love wisely, no doubt; but to love foolishly is better than not to be able to love at all.

The secret to a long marriage is to stay gone.

The world has grown suspicious of anything that looks like a happily married life.

You can’t trust very many people.

Logically, harmony must come from the heart… Harmony very much based on trust. As soon as use force, creates fear. Fear and trust cannot go together.

You learn to know a pilot in a storm.

Women love us for our defects. If we have enough of them, they will forgive us everything, even our gigantic intellects.

I’m sick of the tabloids‘ saying I obsess over guys. Why would you obsess over guys? They don’t like it.

You know, God has some really weird kids, and I find it hard to be in their company most of the time.

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

If you’re talking to a man who wouldn’t fight with you under any circumstances whatsoever, then you’re talking to someone for whom you have absolutely no respect.

I would have written of me on my stone: I had a lover’s quarrel with the world.

Mostly, my flying has been solo, but the preparation for it wasn’t. Without my husband’s help and encouragement, I could not have attempted what I have. Ours has been a contented and reasonable partnership, he with his solo jobs and I with mine. But always with work and play together, conducted under a satisfactory system of dual control.

A family shares hardships and a connected history.

Basically, when you get to my age, you’ll really measure your success in life by how many of the people you want to have love you actually do love you.

A false friend and a shadow attend only while the sun shines.

In order to rally people, governments need enemies… if they do not have a real enemy, they will invent one in order to mobilize us.

Well I think a lot of times we’re putting things off and I’m going to do it later. I’m going to break this bad habit or I’m going to pursue this dream or I’m going to treat my spouse better.

Regarding marriage, it – somehow, it didn’t happen. One fellow in such a big family not getting married is not an issue.

I’ve never been a boyfriend kind of girl.

I know when I grew up, it was, if it was daylight outside, get outside. Well, now, with the technological age of computers and everything, everyone’s inside virtually going everywhere they want to go, virtually having relationships, virtually traveling across the neighborhood, virtually going to that island.

Relationships based on obligation lack dignity.

I don’t know what can be so dangerous about giving people hope. Causing people to have better relationships. I’m not leading them to some false God or something like that.

I have found that no exertion of the legs can bring two minds much nearer to one another.

Everybody’s journey is individual. If you fall in love with a boy, you fall in love with a boy. The fact that many Americans consider it a disease says more about them than it does about homosexuality.

It’s hard for anybody who’s been with me not to feel starved for affection when I’m making love to my ideas. Maybe it’s not meant for me to settle down and be married.

Friends… they cherish one another’s hopes. They are kind to one another’s dreams.

I think daughters can change the perception of their fathers.

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

Perhaps people like us cannot love. Ordinary people can – that is their secret.

Unless you love someone, nothing else makes any sense.

Acquaintances we meet, enjoy, and can easily leave behind; but friendship grows deep roots.

I’m not really that girl who dreams about her wedding day.

I’ve had moments when I’ve thought about somebody, picked up the phone to call them and they are on the line already, and I think that maybe there’s some vibration, some connection.

The wisest hustler can suddenly fall for the worst tramp and lose all of his money on her. The hustler is aware of his own weaknesses and openings to con. This awareness is his edge.

The only service a friend can really render is to keep up your courage by holding up to you a mirror in which you can see a noble image of yourself.

Love is a gross exaggeration of the difference between one person and everybody else.

I never fall in love.

They say marriages are made in Heaven. But so is thunder and lightning.

The best marriages are the ones where we can go out in the world and really put ourselves out there. A lot of times we’ll fail, and sometimes we’ll pull it off. But good marriages are when you can go home and know that your vulnerability will be honored as courage, and that you’ll find support.

I always wanted to be loved.

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.

Life is relationship, living is relationship. We cannot live if you and I have built a wall around ourselves and just peep over that wall occasionally. Unconsciously, deeply, under the wall, we are related.

Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.
