Samuel Johnson

We are long before we are convinced that happiness is never to be found; and each believes it possessed by others, to keep alive the hope of obtaining it for himself.

Do not accustom yourself to consider debt only as an inconvenience. You will find it a calamity.

If pleasure was not followed by pain, who would forbear it?

To keep your secret is wisdom, but to expect others to keep it is folly.

For who is pleased with himself.

Excellence in any department can be attained only by the labor of a lifetime; it is not to be purchased at a lesser price.

Never put more in a relationship than you can afford to lose.

I love my husband, but my girlfriends are my sanity.

She was not for everyone, but she was for me.

The best present a man can give a woman is his undivided attention.

You know, I’m automatically attracted to beautiful – I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything….Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.

There has never been a merging of two lives where significant problems of daily living did not occur. One way or another, your relationship is going to be affected. The only question is how. There’s a big difference between knowing and doing. It’s not what happens between partners that determines the outcome of a relationship, it’s how they handle what happens. If all you deal with in your relationship is problems, then you will have a problem relationship. If you want your pound of flesh with full acknowledgement that you’re right, your future will be dim.

A lot of people believe what other people say.

My dad used to say, ‘You wouldn’t worry so much about what people thought about you if you knew how seldom they did.

You know the funny thing, I don’t get along with rich people. I get along with the middle class and the poor people better than I get along with the rich people.

Men fall in love with their eyes. Women fall in love with their ears.

Strong relationships are the key.

Good friends are good for your health.

She was always a little crazy, which is why I understand her so well.

One of the reasons why I think that me and Kim are very powerful together isn’t just the concept of celebrity or this mega rap star and this mega-beautiful pop star. It’s something I explain to my girl: She is who she is. I am who I am. We have advisers and friends and everything, but those people are who they are and we are who we are. And what I had to learn from Kim is how to take more of her advice and less of other people’s advice. There’s a lot of Kim K skills that were added. In order to win at life, you need some Kim K skills, period.

I don’t know where to find a good guy. I just think that they’re around and I think you have to be good and at some point you’ll attract that. I really believe that. First, people should stop looking. The looking thing does not work. Just let love find you.
