Mine is only one of the millions of hearts broken over the death of Whitney Houston, I will always be grateful and in awe of the wonderful performance she did on my song, and I can truly say from the bottom of my heart, ‚Whitney, I will always love you. You will be missed.‘

No one would choose a friendless existence on condition of having all the other things in the world.

Love is not altogether a delirium, yet it has many points in common therewith.

Right now I’m just delighted to be alive and to have had a nice long bath.

People are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die.

I love Brad in every state.

If future generations are to remember us more with gratitude than sorrow, we must achieve more than just the miracles of technology. We must also leave them a glimpse of the world as it was created, not just as it looked when we got through with it.

All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired.

I know My God commands, whose power no power resists.

I maintain that, if everyone knew what others said about him, there would not be four friends in the world.

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.

Creative people don’t behave very well generally. If you’re looking for examples of good relationships in show business, you’re gonna be depressed real fast. I don’t have time for anything else right now but work and my daughter. She’s my first priority.

No matter how happily a woman may be married, it always pleases her to discover that there is a nice man who wishes that she were not.

I don’t have a type. I don’t have a specific kind of human being. It’s just kind of an X-factor of sorts. Everybody I’ve ever dated has been a case-by-case situation.

When we were children we were grateful to those who filled our stockings at Christmas time. Why are we not grateful to God for filling our stockings with legs?

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

Flattery corrupts both the receiver and the giver.

Since it is difficult to join them together, it is safer to be feared than to be loved when one of the two must be lacking.

If you have only one smile in you give it to the people you love.

Our body is dependant on Heaven and Heaven on the Spirit.

I would believe only in a God that knows how to Dance.

I know that a large part of my fan base is gay. They’ve shown me love from the start. I mean in this industry, everyone from my glam people to my dancers are gay. You can’t be homophobic in this line of work – I’m a pop star!

Polygamy: An endeavour to get more out of life than there is in it.

There is nothing, Sir, too little for so little a creature as man. It is by studying little things that we attain the great art of having as little misery and as much happiness as possible.

I don’t have to be what you want me to be.

We give speeches and pin ribbons onto uniforms, etch names into walls. And all that is fine, but too often, all those tributes, all those words aren’t always backed up by action. And that felt like such a stark contrast to me, because, as we all know, our military is all about action.

My wife and I love each other very much.

Little Red Riding Hood was my first love. I felt that if I could have married Little Red Riding Hood, I should have known perfect bliss.

God enters by a private door into every individual.

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

You don’t have to be like everybody else or do things like everybody else. God created you to be a unique individual, and He wants you to be free to be who He made you to be.

My crown is called content, a crown that seldom kings enjoy.

If I think more about death than some other people, it is probably because I love life more than they do.

Funny is the world I live in. You’re funny, I’m interested. You’re not funny, I’m not interested.

My love is a hummingbird sitting that quiet moment on the bough, as the same cat crouches.

Few friendships would survive if each one knew what his friend says of him behind his back.

I have a dogmatic certainty: God is in every person’s life. God is in everyone’s life. Even if the life of a person has been a disaster, even if it is destroyed by vices, drugs or anything else – God is in this person’s life. You can – you must – try to seek God in every human life.

Remember that a gesture of friendship, no matter how small, is always appreciated.

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

Nothing makes the earth seem so spacious as to have friends at a distance; they make the latitudes and longitudes.

A youth, when at home, should be filial and, abroad, respectful to his elders. He should be earnest and truthful. He should overflow in love to all and cultivate the friendship of the good. When he has time and opportunity, after the performance of these things, he should employ them in polite studies.

Much that passes as idealism is disguised hatred or disguised love of power.

Secrets are things we give to others to keep for us.

The key to winning is choosing to do God’s will and loving others with all you’ve got.

He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.

I always keep my guard up with guys and I guess that can get in the way sometimes. I can make them go through hell.

My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.

When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That’s relativity.

Absolutely not. I have no problem with commitment. In fact, I love having someone in my life.

Misfortune shows those who are not really friends.

A friend in power is a friend lost.

Irrespective of age, we mourn for those loved and lost. Mourning is one of the deepest expressions of pure love.

We should never let material things get ahead of God or become so important in our lives that we can’t walk away from them if He tells us to. Anything you own that has a hold on you is a problem.

People like music when they’re in love, but they don’t need it as much. You need music when you’re missing someone or you’re pining for someone or you’re forgetting someone or you’re trying to process what just happened.

Every day is a gift from God, no matter how old we are.

I’m all about peace. I’m all about unity. I’m all about love.

I don’t know that you can put a label on growth. I’m just me.

There are going to be things I’m not going to be great at, times when I make mistakes, 100%.

There’s a big difference between falling in love with someone and falling in love with someone and getting married. Usually, after you get married, you fall in love with the person even more.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
