In a bad marriage friends are the invisible glue. If we have enough friends we may go on for years intending to leave talking about leaving - instead of actually getting up and leaving.

I believe in the institution of marriage and I intend to keep trying till I get it right.

My view is that marriage is a relationship between a man and a woman. That's the position I've had for some time and I don't intend to make any adjustments at this point... Or ever by the way.

Property is intended to serve life and no matter how much we surround it with rights and respect it has no personal being. It is part of the earth man walks on. It is not man.

For me the most difficult thing is that I am learning melodies on guitar from some songs whose melodies were not meant to be played on guitar. Ever. They were intended mostly for keyboards or melodic percussion.

We have a tremendous lack of knowledge of how far we have gotten away from the Constitution of the United States. Democrats and Republicans alike have taken us away from the original intent. You see I believe in this document as our founding fathers intended it.

My knowledge of video games ends with Nintendo 'Mario Bros.'

Knowledge is a weapon. I intend to be formidably armed.

The negative cost of Lewis and Clark entering the Garden of Eden is that later expeditions regardless of what they were intended to do later expeditions did not deal with the native peoples with the intelligence with the almost kindly resolve that Lewis and Clark did.

Schools are not intended to moralize a wicked world but to impart knowledge and develop intelligence with only two social aims in mind: prepare to take on one's share in the world's work and perhaps in addition lend a hand in improving society after schooling is done.

I don't intend to simply go away and write my plays and be a good boy. I intend to remain an independent and political intelligence in my own right.

I never think of myself as wise. I think of myself as possessing a critical intelligence which I intend to allow to operate.

All the people who follow me on Twitter know my sense of humor. I sometimes forget the blogosphere will give it more weight than I intended.

But maybe music was not intended to satisfy the curious definiteness of man. Maybe it is better to hope that music may always be transcendental language in the most extravagant sense.

I hope I'm wrong but I am afraid that Iraq is going to turn out to be the greatest disaster in American foreign policy - worse than Vietnam not in the number who died but in terms of its unintended consequences and its reverberation throughout the region.

A sold-out house my first night back. Do you have any idea what kinda pressure that is? I could have been at home in my warm bed playing Nintendo.

The American people voted to restore integrity and honesty in Washington D.C. and the Democrats intend to lead the most honest most open and most ethical Congress in history.

I don't really think of things in terms of legacy or where I stand in the history of Nintendo or anything like that.

History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.

The truth is women use contraception not only as a way to prevent unintended pregnancies but also to improve their health and the health of their families. Increased access to contraception is directly linked to declines in maternal and infant mortality.

If Obamacare is allowed to stand - and Congress is allowed to make the purchase of government-endorsed health insurance compulsory - there will be no meaningful limit on Washington's reach into the lives of the American people. That is certainly not what the Founders intended.

It is essential that the women's preventive coverage benefit including contraception be available to all women regardless of what health plan they have or where they work - as Congress intended. Providing access to birth control just makes good sense.

Contraceptives have a proven track record of enhancing the health of women and children preventing unintended pregnancy and reducing the need for abortion.

As the President reviewed the state of the union and unveiled his second-term agenda he fell short of adequately explaining how he intends to set America back on the course of fiscal responsibility and secure the fiscal health of the nation.
