Never underestimate a man’s ability to make you feel guilty for his mistakes.

People hesitate to follow their desires because they don’t know how to divide their soul from their spirit.

She could beat me, but she could not beat my outfit.

I believe everybody’s an individual. You can’t judge someone based on someone else’s actions.

Ask God for forgiveness, and leave your regrets in the past.

People want to shy away from the truth and keep sweeping it under the rug.

Put your troubles aside and start living.

I may be bad, but I’m perfectly good at it.

I just love a challenge, whether it’s a relationship, my career, clothing.

I love music, and after my first experience with movies, I can’t wait to do more.

I like any and all of my associations with music: writing, playing, and listening. We write and play from our perspective, and the audience listens from its perspective. If and when we agree, I am lucky.

By and large, jazz has always been like the kind of a man you wouldn’t want your daughter to associate with.

The natural sense of commiseration (or “sympathy”, – “commisération”, Fr.) for one’s fellow men – compassion, and the influence of education, by association of ideas (“par l’association d’idées”, Fr.) – habit.

We are far more liable to catch the vices than the virtues of our associates.

Our secret association works in a way that nothing can withstand, and man shall soon be free and happy.

This is the great object held out by this association; and the means of attaining it is illumination, enlightening the understanding by the sun of reason which will dispell the clouds of superstition and of prejudice.

To be in the association of those aspiring to love God is the ultimate gift of God.
