One of the things being in politics has taught me is that men are not a reasoned or reasonable sex.

How could man rejoice in victory and delight in the slaughter of men?

Like all young men I set out to be a genius but mercifully laughter intervened.

I've been advised not to have any more children for medical reasons so that's it - the shop has closed even though I would have loved a daughter.

Remember I'm a doctor's daughter. So obviously I'm interested in all medical things.

I finally got a chance to talk to my daughter from my previous marriage. I just got married May 3 to my beautiful wife but we don't see each other much.

Redefining marriage will have huge implications for what is taught in our schools and for wider society. It will redefine society since the institution of marriage is one of the fundamental building blocks of society. The repercussions of enacting same-sex marriage into law will be immense.

Seeing unhappiness in the marriage of friends I was content to have chosen music and laughter as a substitute for a husband.

I think one reason for a successful marriage is laughter. I think laughter gets you through the rough moments in a marriage.

I was gone so much in my first marriage. I love the moments when I engage with my youngest daughter now. It's not my thing to sit on the ground and play tea party but I'll do it because it's a moment that will stick with me forever.

You know my friends with what a brave carouse I made a Second Marriage in my house favored old barren reason from my bed and took the daughter of the vine to spouse.

Feminism is dated? Yes for privileged women like my daughter and all of us here today but not for most of our sisters in the rest of the world who are still forced into premature marriage prostitution forced labor - they have children that they don't want or they cannot feed.

You can forgive people who do not follow you through a philosophical disquisition but to find your wife laughing when you had tears in your eyes or staring when you were in a fit of laughter would go some way towards a dissolution of the marriage.

If love is the treasure laughter is the key.

When you're taught to love everyone to love your enemies then what value does that place on love?

Tell the truth. Sing with passion. Work with laughter. Love with heart. 'Cause that's all that matters in the end.

From your parents you learn love and laughter and how to put one foot before the other. But when books are opened you discover that you have wings.
