Relationships Quotes from The 5 Types of Wealth book by Sahil Bloom

  • The person you choose to confront life’s ups and downs with will have the largest impact on your happiness and fulfillment. Choose wisely.
  • If you don’t nurture and cultivate your relationships in your twenties and thirties, you won’t have them in your forties. If you don’t invest in your health in your forties and fifties, you won’t have it in your sixties. If you don’t take care of your mind in your sixties and seventies, you won’t have it in your eighties.
  • Focus on your relationships; don’t leave their quality and intensity to chance. Treat them with the kind of seriousness that people usually reserve for their money or career.

Other Relationships Quotes

  • Relationships are complex. People are messy, and love can be ugly. I’m inclined to always err on the side of compassion. – from The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo book by Taylor Jenkins Reid
  • Relationships are never fifty-fifty. Sometimes they are sixty-forty, sometimes eighty-twenty. You’ll be the eighty sometimes, you’ll be the twenty others. The key is to accept and be okay with that. – from Win book by Harlan Coben
  • Relationships are knitted together by need. When two people connect, the purpose each is serving in the other’s life is what holds the union in place, keeps the ragged edges of its hemline sewn. – from Just as I Am book by Cicely Tyson
  • In every relationship you have the opportunity to set the level of joy you expect and the level of pain you’ll accept. No relationship is perfect, but if joy never reaches a certain height, or holds to a low average, that won’t change unless you both put in a lot of work. The same is true for how much disappointment you’re willing to bear. – from Think Like a Monk book by Jay Shetty
  • There is nothing like stirring a bit of jealousy to fire things up in a relationship. – from The Hunting Party book by Lucy Foley
  • There’s a loser in every relationship. We may not like to admit it, but one of us always gets a little more and one of us always gives up a little more readily. – from Us Against You book by Fredrik Backman
  • When you find the right thing to do, when you find the right people to work with, invest deeply. Sticking with it for decades is really how you make the big returns in your relationships and in your money. – from The Almanack of Naval Ravikant book by Eric Jorgenson
  • Relationships never provide you with everything. They provide you with some things. You take all the things you want from a person – sexual chemistry, let’s say, or good conversation, or financial support, or intellectual compatibility, or niceness, or loyalty – and you get to pick three of those things. Three – that’s it. Maybe four, if you’re very lucky. The rest you have to look for elsewhere. It’s only in the movies that you find someone who gives you all of those things. – from A Little Life book by Hanya Yanagihara
  • Nothing kills a relationship like the tedium of unremitting sweetness. All lovers need the adrenaline boost of a good old fight now and then to keep their love alive and healthy. – from Arts of Seduction book by Seema Anand
