Honestly being a doctor could make you more close minded than regular people.

Gay marriage has jumped out of the closet on to the front page. Everyone from the president of the U.S. to retired four-star general Colin Powell is embracing the issue now supported by most Americans. Still a few people like former First Lady Laura Bush appear to be conflicted.

When I talk about the importance of the institution of marriage I think of the commitment and the significance of standing in front of those closest to you and promising fidelity to your partner 'til death do you part.'

I never thought my marriage could be stronger or I could be closer to Bill. We prayed on our own but now we prayed together and you'll never know how much that means until you do it.

On rare occasions one does hear of a miraculous case of a married couple falling in love after marriage but on close examination it will be found that it is a mere adjustment to the inevitable.

Marriage may be the closest thing to Heaven or Hell any of us will know on this earth.

I say to people who care for people who are dying if you really love that person and want to help them be with them when their end comes close. Sit with them - you don't even have to talk. You don't have to do anything but really be there with them.

I think careful cooking is love don't you? The loveliest thing you can cook for someone who's close to you is about as nice a valentine as you can give.

Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself.

This is the hardest of all: to close the open hand out of love and keep modest as a giver.

Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue a wonderful living side by side can grow if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky.

Money isn't the most important thing in life but it's reasonably close to oxygen on the 'gotta have it' scale.

Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up but a comedy in long-shot.

It is curious that with my somewhat antinomian tendencies I should have gone to Trinity Hall - which was and is before all a Law College - and should thus have been thrown into close touch with the legal element in life.

Perhaps to the uninformed it may appear unaccountable that a man should be able to retain in his memory such a variety of learning but the close alliance with each other of the different branches of science will explain the difficulty.

I think my family and closest friends are learning about my need to withdraw and I am learning how to restore and store my energy to both serve the community to the best of my ability and to serve my writer's heart.

The mind of the polyglot is a very particular thing and scientists are only beginning to look closely at how acquiring a second language influences learning behavior and the very structure of the brain itself.

Study nature love nature stay close to nature. It will never fail you.

House Republican leadership have refused to allow a clean minimum wage vote. Close to 15 million Americans will be affected if we did this. Do Republicans really expect a family to live on less than $11 000 a year?

Aren't we at the point where the closer we get to chaos the more concern that there should be about coming to the table and compromising with Democrats? This is not leadership. This is almost like dictatorship.

Leaders must be close enough to relate to others but far enough ahead to motivate them.

Close contact between science and the practice of collective farms and State farms creates inexhaustible opportunities for the development of theoretical knowledge enabling us to learn ever more and more about the nature of living bodies and the soil.

Knowledge of the world in only to be acquired in the world and not in a closet.

What does mysticism really mean? It means the way to attain knowledge. It's close to philosophy except in philosophy you go horizontally while in mysticism you go vertically.
