Our institute's agenda is relatively simple. We study the relationship between social-economic change and culture. By culture we mean beliefs values and lifestyles. We cover a broad range of issues and we work very internationally.

I do want to try to put things in perspective today relative to the U.S.-Canada relationship. I would like to start by talking about how important this relationship is to the people of the United States.

God gives us relatives thank God we can choose our friends.

When one has love for God one doesn't feel any physical attraction to wife children relatives and friends. One retains only compassion for them.

I have developed a very strong partiality for the dead: they don't talk back they don't sue and they don't have angry relatives.

Every man sees in his relatives and especially in his cousins a series of grotesque caricatures of himself.

It isn't necessary to have relatives in Kansas City in order to be unhappy.

One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives.

Politics and power is a realm of relative influence.

People in Afghanistan want peace including the Taliban. They're also people like we all are. They have families they have relatives they have children they are suffering a tough time.

Well I think by any expectation South Africa has come a tremendously long way. We've seen a society that many people thought couldn't withstand a peaceful transition to democracy without a great deal of violence in fact make that transition and do it in relative peace and security.

It's easy to sit in relative luxury and peace and pontificate on the subject of the Third World debts.

I think maybe because of the kind of music I sing people want to believe you're a diva. They can't believe after eight years and eight albums you're still relatively sane. I feel like they almost want me to throw something at somebody.

You know all my songs are relatives brothers sisters cousins.

We are also fortunate in being in quite a sheltered environment in terms of people moving on to do other things because there are relatively few companies in Scotland that are looking for the skill set that we've developed.

Language is like money without which specific relative values may well exist and be felt but cannot be reduced to a common denominator.
