Ed Bradley Quotes

However successful you are, there is no substitute for a close relationship. We all need them.

As long as you understand that you find happiness through family, friends and love, then money is just a nice bonus.

If you don't have your friends and your family, what do you really have? You can have all the money in the world, but with no friends and no family, it's no good.

I've been my most happy and my most unhappy in relationships. I have family and friends and people I care very much about. I've got a really, really, really good life.

I have all the things I can desire in life, but if I don't have love from people, and if I don't be able to give love to people and receive love, I will not be happy, even with all my success and all the money I make.

I think the most important thing in the whole world is love and relationships, and if you don't have them it's quite bad.

Having people I love around me - friends and family - is great, but I don't necessarily need a relationship.

I love being with my family, my friends, and my boyfriend.

There is not enough celebration of companionship. Relationships aren't just about eroticism and sexuality.

Family and friendships are two of the greatest facilitators of happiness.

The bonds of love are what connect us to the other side.

I don't want to be alone my whole life. It is much more fun to share what you have than to have it to yourself. And it isn't like I don't have love in my life. I have a lot of friends who love me and who I love.

I would rather be loved than have money and all that other stuff.

I've got a great wife, a great life.

I think most people would struggle to define their whole relationship with just one label - like: my girlfriend, boyfriend, brother, sister, confidantes, whatever - but in those moments, there's true joy in each other.

How I measure riches is by the friends I have and the loved ones I have and the people that I care about in my life, and that's where my values are and that's where my riches are.

There's nothing I value more than the closeness of friends and family, a smile as I pass someone on the street.

All that matters in life is forging deep ties of love and family and friends. Writing and reading come later.

Happiness, for me, is a function of the number of people I love, and I think joy and happiness is directly related to how many people are in our lives and how deeply we are bonded with those people.

I'm a happy man, because I am successful in what I do, of course; but what makes me most happy is I have people around me that I love and who love me back. This, for me, is the most important thing. Nobody likes to be alone.

I have people who love me and people that I love and a man that I love. So in that sense, I feel that I'm pretty well rounded.

If one is desperate for love, I suggest looking at one's friends and family and see if love is all around. If not, get a new set of friends, a new family.

The fact is, everything we want or yearn for is won through other people. No man on an island is happy; he is merely existing. The joyous life is the one filled with rich relationships.

Through love, we come close to the hearts of our brothers - at the beginning, throughout the course of, and right up to the end of our lives.

The accolades don't nourish me - being with loved ones and my dogs does.
