I think anybody who has had a long relationship and has had a really hard time letting go, wants to feel like it's not all for naught, and it's meaningful, because it makes you who you are.

My pet peeve and my goal in life is to somehow get an adjective for 'integrity' in the dictionary. 'Truthful' doesn't really cover it, or 'genuine.' It should be like 'integritus.'

Well, I'm not a method actress by any stretch of the imagination so the best thing that I can do is be as real as possible and find whatever commonality in that character that I can see myself.

Smiling is definitely one of the best beauty remedies. If you have a good sense of humor and a good approach to life, that's beautiful.

My dad always tell me to make decisions from love and not from fear.

Just because a situation is grim doesn't mean you don't have every right to smile.

I know of no single formula for success. But over the years I have observed that some attributes of leadership are universal and are often about finding ways of encouraging people to combine their efforts, their talents, their insights, their enthusiasm and their inspiration to work together.

What were once only hopes for the future have now come to pass; it is almost exactly 13 years since the overwhelming majority of people in Ireland and Northern Ireland voted in favour of the agreement signed on Good Friday 1998, paving the way for Northern Ireland to become the exciting and inspirational place that it is today.

At Christmas, I am always struck by how the spirit of togetherness lies also at the heart of the Christmas story. A young mother and a dutiful father with their baby were joined by poor shepherds and visitors from afar. They came with their gifts to worship the Christ child.

For many, Christmas is also a time for coming together. But for others, service will come first.

Like all the best families, we have our share of eccentricities, of impetuous and wayward youngsters and of family disagreements.

The events that I have attended to mark my Diamond Jubilee have been a humbling experience. It has touched me deeply to see so many thousands of families, neighbors and friends celebrating together in such a happy atmosphere.

I hope that tomorrow we can all, wherever we are, join in expressing our grief at Diana's loss, and gratitude for her all-too-short life. It is a chance to show to the whole world the British nation united in grief and respect.

Grief is the price we pay for love.

At its heart, engineering is about using science to find creative, practical solutions. It is a noble profession.

Therefore I am sure that this, my Coronation, is not the symbol of a power and a splendor that are gone but a declaration of our hopes for the future, and for the years I may, by God's Grace and Mercy, be given to reign and serve you as your Queen.

I have behind me not only the splendid traditions and the annals of more than a thousand years but the living strength and majesty of the Commonwealth and Empire; of societies old and new; of lands and races different in history and origins but all, by God's Will, united in spirit and in aim.

My husband has quite simply been my strength and stay all these years, and I owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim.

I cannot lead you into battle. I do not give you laws or administer justice but I can do something else - I can give my heart and my devotion to these old islands and to all the peoples of our brotherhood of nations.

The upward course of a nation's history is due in the long run to the soundness of heart of its average men and women.

I have in sincerity pledged myself to your service, as so many of you are pledged to mine. Throughout all my life and with all my heart I shall strive to be worthy of your trust.

The lessons from the peace process are clear; whatever life throws at us, our individual responses will be all the stronger for working together and sharing the load.

In remembering the appalling suffering of war on both sides, we recognise how precious is the peace we have built in Europe since 1945.

To what greater inspiration and counsel can we turn than to the imperishable truth to be found in this treasure house, the Bible?

To all those who have suffered as a consequence of our troubled past I extend my sincere thoughts and deep sympathy. With the benefit of historical hindsight we can all see things which we would wish had been done differently or not at all.

First, I want to pay tribute to Diana myself. She was an exceptional and gifted human being. In good times and bad, she never lost her capacity to smile and laugh, nor to inspire others with her warmth and kindness. I admired and respected her - for her energy and commitment to others, and especially for her devotion to her two boys.

It would be cool to be invisible, but I'm afraid of what people would say about me if they didn't know I was there. Some things are better left unknown.

Boy, if Garth Ennis had created a religion, I would sure like to be a part of that. It just makes sense, the way he tackles things in it. It's really heavy stuff and it's incredibly well written.

When you have kids and get older, it goes beyond flowers and chocolate. It's about waking up with a baby, letting her sleep in, and making a coffee for her when she wakes up. To me, being romantic is putting someone else first and thinking about what makes them happy.

If you have fun and keep a good attitude, people want to work with you.

Everyone can have their heart broken. Even if you know the relationship isn't working, it's still sad. Even in a bad relationship, they're part of your life for a long time, and saying goodbye to that can be difficult.

I prefer face-to-face conversation as opposed to texting. You need to go out of your way to spend good time with one another; you need to have a date night. Whether you have kids or a career or whatever, for a relationship to thrive, it's about making time for each other.

You can find all types of men anywhere, but a smart man will always make you feel important and understood. And a woman can always tell when a man does it genuinely and effortlessly.

I respect only those who resist me, but I cannot tolerate them.

Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first.

It is not tolerable, it is not possible, that from so much death, so much sacrifice and ruin, so much heroism, a greater and better humanity shall not emerge.

How can anyone govern a nation that has two hundred and forty-six different kinds of cheese?

I was France.

I have tried to lift France out of the mud. But she will return to her errors and vomitings. I cannot prevent the French from being French.

The great leaders have always stage-managed their effects.

I have come to the conclusion that politics are too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.

Politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.

Since a politician never believes what he says, he is quite surprised to be taken at his word.

In politics it is necessary either to betray one's country or the electorate. I prefer to betray the electorate.

In order to become the master, the politician poses as the servant.

Silence is the ultimate weapon of power.

Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to be so.

Deliberation is the work of many men. Action, of one alone.

The true statesman is the one who is willing to take risks.

The better I get to know men, the more I find myself loving dogs.
