No one should have to choose between medicine and other necessities. No one should have to use the emergency room every time a child gets sick. And no one should have to live in constant fear that a medical problem will become a financial crisis.
The course of this conflict is not known yet its outcome is certain. Freedom and fear justice and cruelty have always been at war and we know that God is not neutral between them.
I'm in that comfortable niche where I'm not that famous and sometimes people do need to put a barrier between them and their followers. When you're real famous you need to do that but I'm not that famous so I don't need that kind of barrier.
I was never famous as a kid. That's the biggest difference between me and any other kid actor is that I wasn't famous as a kid.
I think it's useful as a famous person to have as little separation between the perception of you and how you really are - because otherwise I'd be sitting here thinking I'm keeping secrets and wondering when you're going to find out.
There's no difference between fame and infamy now. There's a new school of professional famous people that don't do anything. They don't create anything.
Finding that balance between work and family is the hardest thing I've ever done - by far.
Classical and romantic: private language of a family quarrel a dead dispute over the distribution of emphasis between man and nature.
Frankly I'm fairly boring or fairly busy. Between writing and family I have little time for anything else.
I believe in God family truth between people the power of love.
My idea of perfect happiness is a healthy family peace between nations and all the critics die.
The left ask people to believe that there is no conflict between feminism and the family.
I'm still very connected to my family to the world I grew up in. I understand what it means to be afraid that you can't pay a doctor's bill. Or to have to make the choice between buying a band uniform for a seventh-grader and making the insurance payment on time. That will never leave me. It was how I lived until I was well into my adult years.
A lot of what I'm obsessed with is the relationship and the dynamics between people and the family particularly brothers and their father.
No one really wants to admit they are lonely and it is never really addressed very much between friends and family. But I have felt lonely many times in my life.
It's all about quality of life and finding a happy balance between work and friends and family.
Little children are still the symbol of the eternal marriage between love and duty.
There is a split between Muslims who want to practice their faith in peace and tolerance with other religions and other people and these extreme radical fundamentalists who have shown a total lack of tolerance for people with different views starting with people who they don't think are good Muslims and going on to include Christians and Jews.
It is from the traditional family that we absorb those universal ideals and principles which are the teaching of Jesus the bedrock of our religious faith. We are taught the difference between right and wrong and about the law just punishment and discipline.
Sectarian divide has created a schism in our society that is a major challenge. As monarch of all Bahrainis it pains me to see many harmed by the actions of a few. And yet I am optimistic and have faith in our people. We all realize that now is the time to strike a balance between stability and gradual reform.
The balance between faith and reason is for the determination of each individual and of the people as a whole not of unauthorized government officials uttering impious humbug as they arbitrarily try to define that balance.
The only thing that stands between a man and what he wants from life is often merely the will to try it and the faith to believe that it is possible.
Well I think that Catholicism's basic foundation of faith is personal conscience. I think it's between you and God not you and the Church.
My faith foundation works to bring about a greater respect and understanding between different faiths. We basically work with six popular religions in the world which are the three Abrahamic religions Hinduism and Buddhism and Sikhism.
The great thing about being a print journalist is that you are permitted to duck. Cameramen get killed while the writers are flat on the floor. A war correspondent for the BBC dedicated his memoir to 50 fallen colleagues and I guarantee you they were all taking pictures. I am only alive because I am such a chicken.
