Só existe uma coisa melhor do que fazer novos amigos: conservar os velhos.

Um amigo se faz rapidamente; já a amizade é um fruto que amadurece lentamente.

Não se pode ir longe na amizade sem se estar disposto a perdoar os pequenos defeitos um ao outro.

A amizade mais perfeita e mais durável é somente aquela que contraímos com o nosso interesse.

A amizade e a lealdade residem numa identidade de almas raramente encontrada.

A amizade não se busca, não se sonha, não se deseja; ela exerce-se (é uma virtude).

O negócio pode trazer dinheiro, mas a amizade raramente o faz.

Não há solidão mais triste do que a do homem sem amizades. A falta de amigos faz com que o mundo pareça um deserto.

A verdadeira amizade pode basear-se somente na união de modos de ser semelhantes.

Nenhum gesto de amizade, por muito insignificante que seja, é desperdiçado.

Quem cedo e bem aprende, tarde ou nunca esquece. Quem negligencia as manifestações de amizade, acaba por perder esse sentimento.

Cada novo amigo que ganhamos no decorrer da vida aperfeiçoa-nos e enriquece-nos, não tanto pelo que nos dá, mas pelo que nos revela de nós mesmos.

Aquele que tenta reformar o seu próximo não deve cultivar nunca uma grande amizade com ele antes do objetivo ter sido atingido.

A amizade é uma predisposição recíproca que torna dois seres igualmente ciosos da felicidade um do outro.

O amigo é a resposta aos teus desejos. Mas não o procures para matar o tempo! Procura-o sempre para as horas vivas. Porque ele deve preencher a tua necessidade, mas não o teu vazio.

Amizade é quando você encontra uma pessoa que olha na mesma direção que você, compartilha a vida contigo e te respeita como você é!

O silêncio é o espaço que envolve toda a ação e vida em comum. A amizade não precisa de palavras: é a solidão livre da angústia da solidão.

A verdadeira amizade é aquela que nos permite falar, ao amigo, de todos os seus defeitos e de todas as nossas qualidades.

Pode ser que um dia deixemos de nos falar... Mas, enquanto houver amizade, Faremos as pazes de novo.

Quem afasta a amizade da vida parece que arranca o sol do mundo, pois os deuses imortais não nos deram nada melhor nem mais doce.

I write to music, and Nina Simone is always on my playlist to write to. I mean, she's inspiring. She's truthful and real and raw.

There's a lot of terrible things goin' on all the time, but you gotta try and have some fun in the end.

Avoid fried foods, which angry up the blood.

I started rocking and rolling when Guns N' Roses came out. It wasn't until Garth Brooks came around that I really got back to country. He made it fun again. To me, in country music, the rigor mortis was setting in and it just wasn't fun anymore. Garth brought everyone back over to country and made it cool again.

Privacy is a vast subject. Also, remember that privacy and convenience is always a trade-off. When you open a bank account and want to borrow some money, and you want to get a very cheap loan, you'll share all details of your assets because you want them to give you a low interest rate.

I hope our hopes and aspirations are bigger than setting records.

Johnny Colt is a character, and most people in Lynyrd Skynyrd are characters, so he fits in great with us. He's got an attitude, man, and I love it, and that's what we need.

I feel as if I were a piece in a game of chess, when my opponent says of it: That piece cannot be moved.

I love and always have loved policy issues and trying to have an impact on the issues that are out there. I cherish my years in government. I have loved my participation at CNN, at Current; writing; teaching. Where I will go next, I will have to sort out.

A movie of mine is going to be released in Japan next year. I play a waitress who's a really regular girl in this movie. The English title isn't decided yet, but in Japanese it's I'll Get on the A Train Sometime.

No one is free who does not lord over himself.

People who are angry at themselves sometimes blame others.

Fashion choices are never arbitrary. Even if you say you don't care, that's a decision. There's something you're trying to say.

I played one game, and one game played me.

Something great about 'The Last Ship' is that it employs a lot of actors, and a lot of actors are getting work because of it, and all these people are in here, and all these artists are working together.

We don't need to dumb down our stuff. And it's important to know how far we can push readers.

Starbucks is in my blood. It is such a part of me that letting it unravel simply was not an option.

Incidentally, why was it that none of all the pious ever discovered psycho-analysis? Why did it have to wait for a completely godless Jew?

The work on ants has profoundly affected the way I think about humans.

It's a funny thing because I don't want to wish away my privacy. Do I want 'Terminator Genisys' to explode? Absolutely. Do I want to take my career to the next level? Absolutely? You have to trade some things for that. It's all about how you conduct yourself and what you make of the experience.

The further away we got from 9/11, the more I wanted to find some way to recover. I wanted to talk about the more anonymous corners of the city, because I think it's very important that not all of that anger was turned to revenge.

A subplot is a distinguishing characteristic of the novel; the short story, for example, does not need subplots.

Respect is one of life's greatest treasures. I mean, what does it all add up to if you don't have that?

I think they quite like me when I work because I'm one of the safer directors to back, because even if my films don't bring their costs in back home, once they're shown outside of India they manage to cover the costs.
