In giving us children God places us in a position of both leadership and service. He calls us to give up our lives for someone else's sake - to abandon our own desires and put our child's interests first. Yet according to His perfect design it is through this selflessness that we can become truly fulfilled.

If you don't design your own life plan chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.

It's normally the kiss of death to be identified as a rising star or someone to watch.

When I see someone who is starved they don't look alert. They don't have boundless energy. If you're too skinny it looks like you're near death.

I don't think I would want the responsibility for enforcing the death penalties. There's always the inevitable question of whether someone you gave the order to execute might truly have been innocent.

In almost every interview someone asks what does HIM stand for. I can't even remember our latest lie about that. When Hanson was hot we said it means Hanson Is Murder. The name doesn't have a particular history. His Infernal Majesty was a totally different band. I think HIM derives from some death metal joke.

Doing linear scans over an associative array is like trying to club someone to death with a loaded Uzi.

For the wretched one night is like a thousand for someone faring well death is just one more night.

What you possess in the world will be found at the day of your death to belong to someone else. But what you are will be yours forever.

Death is someone you see very clearly with eyes in the center of your heart: eyes that see not by reacting to light but by reacting to a kind of a chill from within the marrow of your own life.

The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead.

I don't really talk about my personal life. It's a strange and funny and weird thing. Sometimes you have a conversation with someone and the paparazzi snaps a picture of you and people decide you're dating. If I try to answer everything people say I would be up all night.

I've been dating younger men since my 20s When I was 29 I dated someone 21... younger men are just more fun. I like their energy. I've always been kind of young for my age.

In my own relationships I know that I should break up with someone who doesn't encourage me to be strong and make my own choices and do what's best in my life so if you're dating someone who doesn't want you to be the best person you can be you shouldn't be dating them.

I am dating but it is hard to find someone quick enough and funny enough. I am quite demanding.

You're talking to someone who has been married to various people for the last 40 years of her life. Dating is not really something familiar. I've never really been a dater.

I've been in plenty of situations where someone I'm dating had more time for a console than me.

Dating is different when you get older. You're not as trusting or as eager to get back out there and expose yourself to someone.

Dating co-stars is natural. When you're working with someone it's habit.

The prospect of dating someone in her twenties becomes less appealing as you get older. At some point in your fife your tolerance level goes down and you realize that with someone much younger there's nothing really to talk about.

I'm not cynical about marriage or romance. I enjoyed being married. And although being single was fun for a while there was always the risk of dating someone who'd owned a lunch box with my picture on it.

What I remember most about junior homecoming was my date getting sick afterwards. That kinda sucked. Then senior year someone got gum in her hair when we were dancing. She had to get one of the chaperones to take her to the office and cut up her hair. I felt really bad for her but it worked out fine.

I have stepped off the relationship scene to come to terms with myself. I have spent most of my adult life being 'someone's girlfriend' and now I am happy being single.

Last year my boyfriend gave me a painting - a very personal one. I really prefer personal gifts or ones made by someone for me. Except diamonds. That's the exception to the rule.
