We love to be with our family and friends and I can tell you that lots of eating will be involved.

I find the family the most mysterious and fascinating institution in the world.

Maybe there is no actual place called hell. Maybe hell is just having to listen to our grandparents breathe through their noses when they're eating sandwiches.

Humor has always been important to me. If there is a shield of faith that you can keep up against difficulties humor is the Teflon coating.

I grew up in a very religious family and it is the motivating force to every thing I do. I am fortunate to have had adults all around me who really lived their faith in helping other people and doing the best you can do.

By concentrating on what is good in people by appealing to their idealism and their sense of justice and by asking them to put their faith in the future socialists put themselves at a severe disadvantage.

With gridlock the norm Congress's approval rating is below 10 percent and the public has lost faith in its national leadership.

Everyone should be commended for allowing people to make disasters to make failures - you've just got to be sure that it's a magnificent failure and that by creating a magnificent failure you plant the seed.

Divorce is so common and accepted in America that beating myself up over it may sound ridiculous. But I was raised to believe that divorce wasn't an option to me divorce equaled failure. I wasn't able to change that equation until I found myself in the right relationship.

Coming to terms with the fact that my marriage was a failure was devastating and very difficult.

We are creating a unique experience. It's starts with how you see the building from a distance.

You're creating an intimacy that everybody feels that it's their experience not yours. I'll never introduce a song and say now this song is about 'my' broken heart.

Like every aspect of cancer I've weathered thus far today's experience was not at all demoralizing expensive or humiliating. No it was just plain fun.

Just as we accumulate memories of facts by integrating them into a network we accumulate life experiences by integrating them into a web of other chronological memories. The denser the web the denser the experience of time.

Yes I've listened to just a few audiobooks - but hope to listen to more. I've wanted to investigate how my own books sound in this format and find the experience of listening and not reading quite fascinating.

I think it's easy for people to assume that fame is equal to glory but it can be a very isolating experience.

My life path has been a blessing and a great learning experience. Skateboarding is my passion and I don't see that changing. When I'm not skating I love to surf. I'm open to the new experiences and opportunities.

Men and women who have served in harm's way experience higher rates of divorce and suicide. Many battle the debilitating effects and stigma associated with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Artists need some kind of stimulating experience a lot of times which crystallizes when you sing about it or paint it or sculpt it. You literally mold the experience the way you want. It's therapy.

I remember when I was 33 or 34 it was devastating because I realized I wasn't a kid anymore. The great thing about 40 was that I really felt like I had life experience and knew what I was doing now.

There's probably no experience more alienating than fame other than a terminal illness where you actually find yourself in a situation that nobody around you can relate to.

Sometimes I get so bold and I'm so confident about what I'm doing that I actually try to be more of a dork because it's a really liberating feeling to experience what it's like to not care.

Living in a rural setting exposes you to so many marvelous things - the natural world and the particular texture of small-town life and the exhilarating experience of open space.

The amount of meetings I've been in - people would be shocked. But that's how you gain experience how you can gain knowledge being in meetings and participating. You learn and grow.
