“I had to learn how to function as a human being. And I really enjoyed that process.”

Better to build a bridge than a wall.

There ain’t been no angels in heaven around since God invented girls.

I’ve got that resilient thing inside me. But I wasn’t a happy bunny.

Jesus wanted us to be loving and forgiving.

How wonderful life is while you’re in the world

I guess that’s why they call it the blues, time on my hands could be time spent with you.

I’m going to fight for human rights, whether I do it silently behind the scenes or vocally so that I get locked up. I can’t just sit back; it’s not in my nature. I can’t sit back and blindly ignore it, and I won’t.

The less I say the more my work gets done.

Don’t let the sun go down on me Although I search myself, it’s always someone else I see I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

There is nothing wrong with going to bed with someone of your own sex. People should be very free with sex, they should draw the line at goats.

There’s a lot of hate in the world.

Love’s like a junkie, addiction’s a fact. Passion’s a monkey, you can’t keep off your back.

A man who both spends and saves money is the happiest man, because he has both enjoyments.

Every man is rich or poor according to the proportion between his desires and his enjoyments.

It is one of the enjoyments of retirement that you are able to drift through the day at your own pace, easy in the knowledge that you have put hard work and achievement behind you.

The evening’s the best part of the day. You’ve done your day’s work. Now you can put your feet up and enjoy it.

All travel has its advantages. If the passenger visits better countries, he may learn to improve his own. And if fortune carries him to worse, he may learn to enjoy it.

Gossip is what no one claims to like, but everybody enjoys.

The really happy woman is the one who can enjoy the scenery when she has to take a detour. Happiness is not a state to arrive at, but rather a manner of traveling.

I have enjoyed greatly the second blooming… suddenly you find – at the age of 50, say – that a whole new life has opened before you.
