Love me or hate me, both are in my favor...If you love me, I'll always be in your heart... If you hate me, I'll always be in your mind.

I know the Chinese. I've made a lot of money with the Chinese. I understand the Chinese mind.

Go to your bosom; Knock there, and ask your heart what it doth know.

In a conflict between the heart and the brain, follow your heart.

The world don't need any more songs... As a matter of fact, if nobody wrote any songs from this day on, the world ain't gonna suffer for it... There's enough songs for people to listen to, if they want to listen to songs. For every man, woman and child on earth, they could be sent, probably, each of them, a hundred songs, and never be repeated... Unless someone's gonna come along with a pure heart and has something to say. That's a different story.

Happiness depends more upon the internal frame of a person's own mind than on the externals in the world.
