“Being honest may not get you a lot of friends but it’ll always get you the right ones.”

I get by with a little help from my friends.

A mistake is only an error, it becomes a mistake when you fail to correct it.

You either get tired fighting for peace, or you die.

You are not your emotions, you have emotions,and you can master them.

I can’t wake you up. You can wake you up. I can’t cure you. You can cure you.

Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives.

Violence begets violence, you know. And you can’t kill off all the violent people or all the murderers. We’d have to kill off the government.

Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.

There was something wrong with me, I thought, because I seemed to see things other people didn’t see.

What we’ve got to do is keep hope alive. Because without it we’ll sink.

I wouldn’t say I was a born writer; I’m a born thinker.

Love is the Answer. What was the Question?

When you do something noble and beautiful and nobody noticed, do not be sad. For the sun every morning is a beautiful spectacle and yet most of the audience still sleeps.

The people have the power. All we have to do is awaken the power in the people.

Instant Karma is going to get you.

Always remember this: ‘A kiss will never miss, and after many kisses a miss becomes a misses.’

The best that we can do is to be kindly and helpful toward our friends and fellow passengers who are clinging to the same speck of dirt while we are drifting side by side to our common doom.

People have labeled me homophobic. If I was homophobic, I wouldn’t have friends who are gay and lesbian, so that can’t be true.

I’m sure I’ve all but lost friends by maintaining that, despite their love for it, I always saw Stanley Kramer’s ‘It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World’ as more of an exercise in anti-comedy than humor.

I am a friend of the working man, and I would rather be his friend, than be one.

I am mad, I am going under, I must follow the advice of a friend, and pay no heed to myself.

Understanding is the soil in which grow all the fruits of friendship.

He was my best friend. I would always love him, and it would never, ever be enough.

I wrote ‘Oath’ for Cher Lloyd because there were really no best-friend anthems out there. Not only did she love it, she wanted me to rap on it, too!
