For the life of me I don't understand what honest motive there is in putting this in front of this body to philosophically debate marriage on a constitutional amendment that is not going to happen and which is enormously divisive in all of our communities.

My first marriage was totally unsuitable and shouldn't have happened. It was a whirlwind rebound thing. I was 23 or 24 - a baby.

My parents did not have a perfect marriage. It was pretty good but it was not perfect. My marriage is not perfect. My wife is but I happen to be imperfect. However that does not discount the fact that the definition of marriage must be defended and protected.

Provincial governments in Canada have terminated the positions of marriage commissioners who have for personal religious convictions not performed same sex marriages. It has happened in Saskatchewan.

But I will agree that I think that things happen with people in relationships that you might have been able to enjoy Morocco say if you weren't getting out of a bad marriage. You know what I mean?

In terms of my marriage you know falling in love with my husband was by far the best thing that's ever happened to me.

I think even in a good marriage especially if you stay together long enough there are going to be events that happen.

Gay marriage is going to happen. It must.

At the end of the day you know love does not happen between two perfect people as much as we would wish.

This is the miracle that happens every time to those who really love: the more they give the more they possess.

I really love idiot enlightened characters - these characters who fail to engage with the drama of their immediate circumstances they fail to be reactive and enrolled by drama as it happens around them.

You can never control who you fall in love with even when you're in the most sad confused time of your life. You don't fall in love with people because they're fun. It just happens.

I'm in trouble because I'm normal and slightly arrogant. A lot of people don't like themselves and I happen to be totally in love with myself.

There is no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love there's only scarcity of resolve to make it happen.

Love thy neighbor - and if he happens to be tall debonair and devastating it will be that much easier.

True love doesn't happen right away it's an ever-growing process. It develops after you've gone through many ups and downs when you've suffered together cried together laughed together.

Love is like a virus. It can happen to anybody at any time.

Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.

Sometimes you trust someone who turns out not to be honest. There are a lot of things that happen in life that don't turn out the way you're given the impression that they will. And I think that's all kind of a con. But I think we've probably all been hurt.

Words can never adequately convey the incredible impact of our attitudes toward life. The longer I live the more convinced I become that life is 10 percent what happens to us and 90 percent how we respond to it.

Too often in life something happens and we blame other people for us not being happy or satisfied or fulfilled. So the point is we all have choices and we make the choice to accept people or situations or to not accept situations.

You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen.

I never thought of losing but now that it' s happened the only thing is to do it right. That's my obligation to all the people who believe in me. We all have to take defeats in life.

I decided very early on just to accept life unconditionally I never expected it to do anything special for me yet I seemed to accomplish far more than I had ever hoped. Most of the time it just happened to me without my ever seeking it.
