There aren't many downsides to being rich other than paying taxes and having relatives asking for money. But being famous that's a 24 hour job right there.

A very quiet and tasteful way to be famous is to have a famous relative. Then you can not only be nothing you can do nothing too.

I always want to say to people who want to be rich and famous: 'try being rich first'. See if that doesn't cover most of it. There's not much downside to being rich other than paying taxes and having your relatives ask you for money. But when you become famous you end up with a 24-hour job.

For our immediate family and relatives Canada was a land of opportunity.

It's hard enough to work and raise a family when your kids are all healthy and relatively normal but when you add on some kind of disability or disease it can just be such a burden.

Nobody has ever before asked the nuclear family to live all by itself in a box the way we do. With no relatives no support we've put it in an impossible situation.

Blood relatives often have nothing to do with family and similarly family is about who you choose to make your life with.

My whole damn family was nice. I don't think I've imagined it. It's true. Maybe it has to do with being brought up as Christian Scientists. Half of my relatives were Readers or Practitioners in the church.

This attempt to isolate cell constituents might have been a failure if they had been destroyed by the relative brutality of the technique employed. But this did not happen.

In a sense it might even be said that our failure is to form habits: for after all habit is relative to a stereotyped world and meantime it is only the roughness of the eye that makes two persons things situations seem alike.

While I was pleasantly surprised by the relatively high number of jobs created in April the fact is that job creation during this recovery period has significantly lagged both historical experience in recovery and the projections of the Bush Administration.

I had one relative who passed away but fortunately none others. So my sort of experience of it is quite limited thankfully.

Every experience is a paradox in that it means to be absolute and yet is relative in that it somehow always goes beyond itself and yet never escapes itself.

Mormons... are so strong they can handle wealth they are confident. I think it is because they are not bogged down by rules for equality but have a firmly defined system of relative status and responsible command.

But I like going to church. If you've been brought up in the Church of England it feels like visiting an elderly relative. And I think it's important that part of the kids' education is knowing about the Bible.

It is relatively easy to design for the perfect cases when everything goes right or when all the information required is available in proper format.

People want the right to die at a time of their own choosing. Too many families have watched helplessly as a relative dies slowly longing for death.
