I hurt my wife my kids my mother my wife's family my friends my foundation and kids all around the world who admired me.

You know sit with your arm around a little kid and read. It not only teaches them to read but it keeps the family strong.

When I do get the chance I just love to hang around at home with friends and family.

In five years' time I'd like to be a mum. I want to settle down and have a family definitely sooner rather than later. I'd like to have finished my second album too maybe even my third. I'd like a sound that sticks around that other people are inspired by and that people know is me.

Do it no matter what. If you believe in it it is something very honorable. If somebody around you or your family does not understand it then that's their problem. But if you do have a passion an honest passion just do it.

I would prefer to have no money but to have a nice family and good friends around.

Sure I have friends plenty of friends and they all come around wantin' to borrow money. I've always been generous with my friends and family with money but selfish with the important stuff like love.

But the problem is that when I go around and speak on campuses I still don't get young men standing up and saying 'How can I combine career and family?'

We went to church every Sunday. When I was a kid the only time I sang was around my family.

I grew up in a big family with a lot of kids around and I definitely want to have children as well.

One's family is the most important thing in life. I look at it this way: One of these days I'll be over in a hospital somewhere with four walls around me. And the only people who'll be with me will be my family.

If one is desperate for love I suggest looking at one's friends and family and see if love is all around. If not get a new set of friends a new family.

To us family means putting your arms around each other and being there.

America cannot continue to lead the family of nations around the world if we suffer the collapse of the family here at home.

When you look around right now Nashville is kind of going through another changing of guard you're watching the Martina McBrides and the Faith Hills and all of them that have been the big stars for the last however many years and the next generation is coming in: Miranda Lambert Carrie Underwood those girls.

It is easier to have faith that God will support each House of Hospitality and Farming Commune and supply our needs in the way of food and money to pay bills than it is to keep a strong hearty living faith in each individual around us - to see Christ in him.

I grew up in a very religious family and it is the motivating force to every thing I do. I am fortunate to have had adults all around me who really lived their faith in helping other people and doing the best you can do.

You know this idea of going around the world imposing democracy by growing a middle-class a trading merchant class that is independent of your faith is a good notion but we're all partially different - it's no good imposing systems on people that it doesn't suit.

He wants you all to Himself to put His loving divine arms around you.

Faith and doubt both are needed - not as antagonists but working side by side to take us around the unknown curve.

The keys to patience are acceptance and faith. Accept things as they are and look realistically at the world around you. Have faith in yourself and in the direction you have chosen.

Spend enough time around success and failure and you learn a reverence for possibility.

I've criticized President Bush for his failure to use his veto pen. There's plenty of blame to go around. The question is how to solve problems. It's not bailouts. What made America great? Free markets free enterprise manufacturing job creation. That's how we're gonna do it not by enlarging government.

I'd like to see much more understanding of emotional issues around hurt abandonment disappointment longing failure and shame where they stem from and how they drive people and policies brought into public discourse.
