Sometimes you win and sometimes you learn.

Everybody should have the opportunity to do and be everything they can be.

Unless you know who you are, you will always be vulnerable to what people say.

It’s so much easier to tell people what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear.

I don’t substitute anybody else’s judgment for my own.

Champions get what they want because they know what they want. They have a vision that keeps them motivated and efficiently on track. They see it, feel it, and experience it in their minds and hearts. What is success for you? You won’t get there without knowing what it feels and looks like.

There’s a big difference between falling in love and being in love. There’s a big difference between infatuation and falling in love.

My friends tell me I have an intimacy problem. But they don’t really know me.

I was lucky I always got along with girls. It was never like a big deal. I had a lot of girls that I was friends with that I wasn’t sexual with. I think having two older sisters made me comfortable like that. I just like people, so I can just go up and say whatever.

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.

This would be a much better world if more married couples were as deeply in love as they are in debt

It’s better to be healthy alone than sick with someone else.

A friend is a second self.

“They stood there pretending to be just friends when all the while everyone in the room could plainly see that they were only existing for each other.

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.

To be a friend means that they are always there, for the good or the bad.

I think men are afraid to be with a successful woman, because we are terribly strong, we know what we want and we are not fragile enough.

Usually I’m on top to keep the guy from escaping.

When we think of friends, and call their faces out of the shadows, and their voices out of the echoes that faint along the corridors of memory, and do it without knowing why save that we love to do it, we content ourselves that that friendship is a Reality, and not a Fancy-that it is builded upon a rock, and not upon the sands that dissolve away with the ebbing tides and carry their monuments with them.
