One swallow does not make a summer, neither does one fine day; similarly one day or brief time of happiness does not make a person entirely happy.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

What lies in our power to do, lies in our power not to do.

To give away money is an easy matter, and in any man’s power. But to decide to whom to give it, and how large and when, and for what purpose and how, is neither in every man’s power, nor an easy matter. Hence it is that such excellence is rare, praiseworthy, and noble.

Education is the best provision for old age.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.

I probably didn’t handle things as diplomatically as I should.

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 like anybody to be angry with me. I’d rather have friends.

A lot of people believe what other people say.
