There’s nothing wrong with being alone

I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone, it’s not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people that make you feel alone.

Learn to forgive yourself, not just others

Good people end up in Hell because they can’t forgive themselves.

It’s OK to be crazy

You’re only given a little spark of madness. You mustn’t lose it.

The modern man has real struggles

See, the problem is that God gives men a brain and a penis, and only enough blood to run one at a time.

Pick your battles wisely

Never fight with an ugly person, they’ve got nothing to lose.

The gun debate is not a debate

The Second Amendment says we have the right to bear arms, not to bear artillery.

Even God supports weed legalization

Do you think God gets stoned? I think so… look at the platypus.

The hook-up culture is very real

Ah, yes, divorce… from the Latin word meaning to rip out a man’s genitals.

Never stop reaching for greatness

No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world.

 Surround yourself with the right people

When you have a great audience, you can just keep going and finding new things.

All marriage, gay or straight, is the same

You could talk about same-sex marriage, but people who have been married say ‘It’s the same sex all the time.

You can’t appreciate the good until you’ve felt the bad

You will have bad times, but they will always wake you up to the stuff you weren’t paying attention to.

Women deserve to rule the world

A nuclear bomb is a man’s way of saying, ‘I’m gonna fuck up the earth.’ A woman would never make a nuclear bomb. They would never make a weapon that kills. They’d make a weapon that makes you feel bad for a while… That’s why there should be a woman president, there would never be any wars. You know this, it’s the truth. There would never be a war; just every twenty-eight days: some severe negotiations.

When you think about death and the after-life

Death is nature’s way of saying, ‘your table is ready.’

Music, like food, is necessary for survival

You know what music is? God’s little reminder that there’s something else besides us in this universe; harmonic connection between all living beings, every where, even the stars.

There’s no such thing as a perfect person

She is not perfect. You are not perfect. The question is whether or not you are perfect for each other.

Selfies are pretty narcissistic

Nobody takes a picture of something they want to forget.

Everyone has a purpose, every action has a meaning

I believe in destiny. There must be a reason that I am as I am. There must be.
