I have a loyalty that runs in my bloodstream, when i lock into someone or something, you can't get me away from it because i commit that thoroughly. that's in friendship, that's a deal, that's a commitment. don't give me paper - i can get the same lawyer who drew it up to break it. but if you shake my hand, that's for life.

I Have A Loyalty That Runs In

Loyalty Running Commitment

More From Jerry Lewis

Don't give me paper - i can get the same lawyer who drew it up to break it. but if you shake my hand, that's for life.

Usually you just use these words: "i give you my, i make this commitment to you, i honor this idea between us." for me, commitment boils down to honor. because you make a commitment to protect our environment, you make a commitment to species preservation, you make a commitment to stop things like human trafficking. you make a commitment to stop smoking, to eat better. typically, something that is positive. a positive notion of honor.

I believe that there is something far nobler than loyalty to any particular man. loyalty to the truth as we perceive it - loyalty to our duty as we know it - loyalty to the ideals of our brain and heart - is, to my mind, far greater and far nobler than loyalty to the life of any particular man or god. . . .

I like "rock, paper, scissors two-thirds." you know. "rock breaks scissors." "these scissors are bent. they're destroyed. i can't cut stuff. so i lose." "scissors cuts paper." "these are strips. this is not even paper. it's gonna take me forever to put this back together." "paper covers rock." "rock is fine. no structural damage to rock. rock can break through paper at any point. just say the word. paper sucks." there should be "rock, dynamite with a cutable wick, scissors."

The minute you read something and you can't understand it, you can be sure it was written by a lawyer. then, if you give it to another lawyer to read and he don't know just what it means, then you can be sure it was drawn up by a lawyer. if it's in a few words and is plain, and understandable only one way, it was written by a non-lawyer.

I'm not sure there can be loving without commitment, although commitment takes all kinds of forms, and there can be commitment for the moment as well as commitment for all time. the kind that is essential for loving marriages - and love affairs, as well - is a commitment to preserving the essential quality of your partner's soul, adding to them as a person rather than taking away.

I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail, poisoned in the bushes, blown out on the trail; hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn, "come in," she said, "i'll give ya shelter from the storm."

Marriage is supposed to do everything, like duz, which is more than half its problem. it is said to save us, define us, give us purpose, keep us from loneliness, and incidentally balance our diet and wash our socks, and when it doesn't, we get divorced.

There are a hundred paths through the world that are easier than loving. but who wants easier?

And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
