You have to be careful about how much you reveal to people that look up to you so much.

Really showing love requires more than just words.

It’d be stupid for me to sit here and say that there aren’t kids who look up to me, but my responsibility is not to them. I’m not a baby sitter.

If women were particular about men’s characters, they would never get married at all.

I don’t mind how much my Ministers talk, so long as they do what I say.

I like to speak on matters which matter to human beings, and almost everything matters to human beings.

We may have our private opinions but why should they be a bar to the meeting of hearts?

I’ve… been accused of being involved with every man I’m ever seen with or worked with. Maybe I have, maybe I ain’t. I never tell if I have.

If the present Congress errs in too much talking, how can it be otherwise in a body to which the people send one hundred and fifty lawyers, whose trade it is to question everything, yield nothing, and talk by the hour?

You can’t talk your way out of problems you behave yourself into.

The common thread for everything I do is this idea of a Web-services architecture. What does that mean? It means taking components of software and systems and having them be self-describing, so that you can aim them, ask them what their capabilities are, and communicate with them using a standard protocol.

I’m working at trying to be a Christian, and that’s serious business. It’s like trying to be a good Jew, a good Muslim, a good Buddhist, a good Shintoist, a good Zoroastrian, a good friend, a good lover, a good mother, a good buddy – it’s serious business.

Parents and teachers, learn to listen, then listen to learn from children.

I’m not concerned with your liking or disliking me… All I ask is that you respect me as a human being.

If I’m gonna write songs about my exes, they can write songs about me. That’s how it works.

To me, constructive criticism is when people take ownership of their ideas. That’s why I don’t listen to anything that’s anonymous. But it’s hard; when there’s something hurtful out there, I still want to read it over and over and memorize it and explain my point of view to the person.

I’m drawn to bad romances.

When we are in love we seem to ourselves quite different from what we were before.

He who speaks without modesty will find it difficult to make his words good.

Women. They are a complete mystery.

I never wanted to weigh more heavily on a man than a bird.

A speech idiosyncrasy, in the same way as an air quote, is really justifiable only if it’s employed very sparingly and if the user consciously intends to be using it.

The things most people want to know about are usually none of their business.

Dividers seek to make themselves look or feel better by making others feel worse. They damage relationships, fracture teams and organizations, and create havoc in people’s lives.

I want my kids to see me as Dad, for God’s sake, not a television personality.

A lack of transparency results in distrust and a deep sense of insecurity.

If it’s going to come out eventually, better have it come out immediately.

I’ve never been to New Zealand before. But one of my role models, Xena, the warrior princess, comes from there.

Life becomes harder for us when we live for others, but it also becomes richer and happier.

The more successful I become, the more I need a man.

He that would live in peace and at ease must not speak all he knows or all he sees.

If women believed in their husbands they would be a good deal happier and also a good deal more foolish.

Make yourself necessary to somebody.

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

I meet people overseas that know five languages – that the only language I’m comfortable in is English.

Indifference and neglect often do much more damage than outright dislike.

Humans cannot avoid trying to influence others. Everything we say or do is examined and interpreted by others for clues as to our intentions.

Journalism largely consists of saying ‚Lord Jones is Dead‘ to people who never knew that Lord Jones was alive.

I will listen to anyone’s convictions, but pray keep your doubts to yourself.

If you want what you’re saying heard, then take your time and say it so that the listener will actually hear it. You might save somebody’s life. Your own, first.

I have lived and slept in the same bed with English countesses and Prussian farm women… no woman has excited passions among women more than I have.

Love is blind; friendship closes its eyes.

The finest language is mostly made up of simple unimposing words.

Men get to be a mixture of the charming mannerisms of the women they have known.

Good leaders must communicate vision clearly, creatively, and continually. However, the vision doesn’t come alive until the leader models it.

The more you are talked about the less powerful you are.

A state of society where men may not speak their minds cannot long endure.

What you guys want, I’m for.

To find out your real opinion of someone, judge the impression you have when you first see a letter from them.

I don’t like to talk much with people who always agree with me. It is amusing to coquette with an echo for a little while, but one soon tires of it.

When you have nobody you can make a cup of tea for, when nobody needs you, that’s when I think life is over.

Really, who you are is defined by the people who you know – not even the people that you know, but the people you spend time with and the people that you love and the people that you work with. I guess we show your friends in your profile, but that’s kind of different from the information you put in your profile.

As I grow up, the lessons I learn in love and relationships and how we treat each other are hopefully maturing – hopefully.

Those who cannot understand how to put their thoughts on ice should not enter into the heat of debate.

Children begin by loving their parents; after a time they judge them; rarely, if ever, do they forgive them.

Dialogue means debates and everyone’s point of view.

I’ve never been a boyfriend kind of girl.

Love is not love that alters when it alteration finds.

The way you see people is the way you treat them, and the way you treat them is what they become.

As soon as I go out into the world, I belong, in a way, to everyone else. It’s legal to follow me. It’s legal to stalk me at the beach. And I can’t call the police or ask them to leave.

There is a courtesy of the heart; it is allied to love. From its springs the purest courtesy in the outward behavior.
