I'd say that if you had a strained relationship with your mom for whatever reason the best thing to do is be open with each other talk it over try and work it out somehow as opposed to just putting a wall up and pushing them away.

My mom was a single mom and she had enough on her plate. I knew when I was doing something I wasn't supposed to and I tried to keep her from finding out about it. I did a pretty good job of that.

Once in high school I completely over plucked my left eyebrow all the way up to where you're not supposed to. I had no idea what I was doing and it looked terrible! My mom was like 'What did you do to yourself?' I was so embarrassed.

Mom spent the time that she was supposed to be a kid actully raising children her younger brother and younger sister. She was tough as nails and did not suffer fools at all. And the truth was she could not afford to. She spoke the truth bluntly directly and without much varnish. I am her son.

If women are supposed to be less rational and more emotional at the beginning of our menstrual cycle when the female hormone is at its lowest level then why isn't it logical to say that in those few days women behave the most like the way men behave all month long?

I'm supposed to have a Ph.D. on the subject of women. But the truth is I've flunked more often than not. I'm very fond of women I admire them. But like all men I don't understand them.

It is my sincere hope that hospitals across Indiana and America continue to strive for excellence when it comes to providing medical care. This proposed rule will be harmful to communities who wish to upgrade their medical facilities.

Marriage is all about knowing the ins and outs and the intimate details and your wife is supposed to be the person you know best. But my brother and I think alike know everything about one another and when we get together we block everything else out. Nothing exists in our world except for us.

My older sister was at the cusp of new wave and I had older brothers from my father's first marriage who were rock 'n' roll guys so I was exposed to a lot of popular culture.

Children are supposed to help hold a marriage together. They do this in a number of ways. For instance they demand so much attention that a husband and wife concentrating on their children fail to notice each other's faults.

I opposed the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996. It should be repealed and I will vote for its repeal on the Senate floor. I will also oppose any proposal to amend the U.S. Constitution to ban gays and lesbians from marrying.

Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.

Life is not what it's supposed to be. It's what it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.

I think that the proposed constitution is one of the European legal documents with the strongest social dimension I have seen since I began following European issues.

If I don't need the money I don't work. I'm going to spend time with my family and friends and I'm going to travel and read and listen to music and try to learn a little bit more about how to be a human being as opposed to learning how to be somebody else.

Public office is supposed to be a public trust. This is a clear sign of the rampant corruption at the highest levels of the Republican leadership.

I believe that it is irresponsible it is basically part of the crisis of leadership in D.C. to not look at Social Security and understand that there has got to be a solution posed. We've got to take a look at it and make sure that we create a solution so our seniors aren't left out in the cold.

The things journalists should pay attention to are the issues the political leadership agrees on rather than to their supposed antagonisms.

Moreover as the leadership of the House confirmed last year the Administration remains opposed to a congressional resolution on the Armenian Genocide due to Turkish objections. This approach sends absolutely the wrong signal to Turkey and to the rest of the world.

No institution can possibly survive if it needs geniuses or supermen to manage it. It must be organized in such a way as to be able to get along under a leadership composed of average human beings.

There is no stopping the world's tendency to throw off imposed restraints the religious authority that is based on the ignorance of the many the political authority that is based on the knowledge of the few.

We are rather in the position that used to exist at the BBC where you feel that you can pick up the phone to people who are experts in their field and they will be very favourably disposed to you and share their knowledge.

There can be no proof that Blake's lyric is composed of the best words in the best order only a conviction accepted by our knowledge and judgment that it is so.

This crisis exposed very significant problems in the financial systems of the United States and some other major economies. Innovation got too far out in front of the knowledge of risk.
