The easiest kind of relationship for me is with ten thousand people. The hardest is with one.

Christian children should be taught at an early age that everything they receive is because of God's grace and love. They will grow up more appreciative and begin to understand that they, too, must have a relationship with Christ. Christian children should also be taught how to give.

I think it's healthy for couples to be away from each other for short periods.

What defines a relationship is the work that's involved to maintain it, and it's constantly changing.

You must have love as the core; it takes courage to be willing to constantly tell the truth to each other and risk letting the relationship go.

I am an optimist about the UK. We have been involved in trade with our European partners, which we will always be doing whatever this relationship is. We are a member of the EU. That gives us benefits. But we have to figure out where that is going. In the world, we are a global trader already.

It is clear that there needs to be a closer working relationship between the United States and India. How can we have a close relationship if decision-makers in Washington know very little, if anything, about the religious beliefs, values, and practices of India's 800 million Hindus?

I think the fact that I'm so well known to be gay makes it very difficult to have a convincing relationship with a woman on screen. It wouldn't be at all difficult for me to kiss a woman - I'll kiss a frog if you like.

I was actually a bit disappointed about the amount of sex in the show. I think Backus should get out a bit more, get a relationship, perhaps make her a lesbian.

I think anybody who has had a long relationship and has had a really hard time letting go, wants to feel like it's not all for naught, and it's meaningful, because it makes you who you are.

To pass from estrangement from God to be a son of God is the basic fact of conversion. That altered relationship with God gives you an altered relationship with yourself, with your brother man, with nature, with the universe.

I haven't always been vocal about my feelings, especially in a relationship.

People put so much effort into starting a relationship and so little effort into ending one.

I've got to like myself, I think, through my relationship with Sting, who pours love over me.

There was always a love-hate relationship with New York in the rest of the country, but I made them feel more love than hate.

You can be heartbroken about a relationship but also, from it, realize you are you, and you're okay with who you are or where you came from.

Having even just one relationship with an online influencer can have a significant impact on your business.

It's important to work through things in a relationship. You can't just give up because you're frustrated. It's most important to talk things through together. And that, for me, has been the way I've best resolved problems in the past.

Your relationship to food is but a reflection of your relationship to yourself, as is everything in your life.

A relationship to me is never about the romance.

The things I write are for those who are willing to accept a new relationship between the reader and the author.

I converted Dec. 31, 1999. It was a Friday. That was my second time going to the mosque. The woman who is my wife now... was basically raised Muslim - and she was at that point where she was deciding or trying to come to terms with her own relationship with Islam and how to embrace that for herself.

We are a nation in which freedom is alive in the squares and streets, in the daily work of the communications media, in the open relationship between the governing and the governed.

First, President Reagan was not enthusiastic. But I built up a relationship with him in other areas and then persuaded him that this was important to us and to me, and that we had to at least be in the process of looking at this seriously.

I like the South: Southern literature and that relationship between grotesqueness and living below the Mason-Dixon line. But I also understand that people view it as a limitation - as an actor and as a person - perceptions that are really wrong: that you are ignorant and possibly illiterate, or that it's cute.

Eminem was someone that I discovered I liked, largely because of his relationship to language and to his mother.

Let's face it: your average straight, cis-gender teenage boy isn't going to pursue a relationship with a trans-girl.

If there's no relationship with a father who's absent, nobody talks about it.

I'm very interested in the language of photography in relationship to painting.

Some of the best scams that you get are the ones that pretend to come from friends of yours, because you can just say anything you want, because a scammer has no idea about your relationship with that person.

Music and fashion have had a kind of incestuous relationship since the Fifties. It started with people like Elvis Presley and pop icons like James Dean. Then it exploded in the MTV days. Now, with the Internet, it's instantaneous.

Nothing reinforces a professional relationship more than enjoying success with someone.

I love being outdoors, being in the mountains and the desert, and my wife enjoys that too. That's one of the things that sustain our relationship.

We must transform the relationship between police and the communities they serve.

My relationship with money is that it's a tool to be self-sufficient, but it's not something that is a part of who I am.

I love my husband so much. I love our family. I love our dynamic. I'm proud to be in the relationship that I am because it's based on love. Pure love.

I'm the kind of guy who can't keep a plant alive for a week, let alone a relationship.

I am not moved by what people say or do concerning my relationship with God. I submit myself to His direct will, which is good and perfect with no evil in it.

You have a strange relationship with calamity when you're a writer: you write about it; as an artist, you objectify and fetishize it. You render life into material, and that's a creepy thing to do.

The U.S. relationship with Bahrain is obviously more complicated than with Syria and Iran.

I have had a love-hate relationship with my body.

Couples need time alone to renew their relationship. They also need to sustain supportive networks of friends and family.

A spiritual relationship to me is much more about making your own connection to the divinity that you believe in and much less about the person - the shepherd - who's overseeing it all.

That was my relationship to 'Archie' for the most part: just the Sunday strips.

We cannot really love anyone with with whom we never laugh.

A lot of the songs are based on my previous relationship. It didn't work out. I lost him, and it ruined me. I had to learn to get back on my feet. I used that heartbreak to create something really beautiful.

I always had the sense that nothing was never good enough - striving for perfection. My mother and I had a sort of typical mother-daughter relationship.

I'm not sure it's a better music world of appreciation and performance. I think the listener is a different guy, and listening is something he does in passing, with other stuff going on. There's less care and understanding of the relationship between the song and the listener.

What I am most grateful for is that neither of my fathers pushed the relationship; they just let things develop and didn't impose anything on me. They were both just there, emanating stability in a very unstable situation.

I married him for a green card. We had a really great, caring relationship; it just obviously wasn't right for me.
