Driving a motorcycle is like flying. All your senses are alive. When I ride through Beverly Hills in the early morning and all the sprinklers have turned off the scents that wash over me are just heavenly. Being House is like flying too. You're free of the gravity of what people think.

The bed is a bundle of paradoxes: we go to it with reluctance yet we quit it with regret we make up our minds every night to leave it early but we make up our bodies every morning to keep it late.

Early morning cheerfulness can be extremely obnoxious.

An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.

Clearly this is a tough economic time and a lot of families are hurting. So when we talk to parents we talk about small changes for kids and things that don't cost extra money. Like adding water and eliminating sugary drinks and sodas. That's going to save money right there. Or adding a few more vegetables.

Many people take no care of their money till they come nearly to the end of it and others do just the same with their time.

I was fortunate enough to have my kids early so being a mom always ended up being a better gig than these other parts that came along. So I always justified not really working a lot because I had a family.

To this day my mom's unsinkable spirit is an inspiration to me. For nearly thirty years she's worked at the Library of Congress. Everyone knows Sameha simply as 'Sami.' Along with 500 miles of shelved books her closest friendships are cataloged in that library. They are as much the value of work to my mom as is the work itself.

I saw things at an early age because my mom was a theater actress. I did a play with her when I was 10 years old.

I've changed my life in a lot of ways. I'm a mom a wife and a Christian. Some of the things I expressed in my early 20s aren't what I care to express right now.

My mom calls me an older soul because growing up she taught me stuff real early. Now I spend most of my time chasing wisdom chasing understanding.

I want my daughter to be proud of me and look up to me. I think early on in my pregnancy I realized that to be the mom I want to be I had to change my life and that's what I'm doing.

My friends and I would get up early and take our horses through the national forest. My mom was very free. It was always 'Out of the house!' There was no watching television on weekends.

I know my mom said as early as she can remember letting me watch TV my one treat a week when I was like 6 was to stay up and watch 'Saturday Night Live.'

My mom and I have always been very close. She is my best friend. She had to make a lot of sacrifices early on in my life to make sure I got to do what I wanted to do.

Men show their character in nothing more clearly than what they think laughable.

Things that I felt absolutely sure of but a few years ago I do not believe now. This thought makes me see more clearly how foolish it would be to expect all men to agree with me.

Nearly all men can stand adversity but if you want to test a man's character give him power.

Now a cholera epidemic was sweeping through Southeast Asia and south Asia in the early 1970s so I started medical school and I joined a laboratory to work on this.

Mammograms are really sort of a gift. You can either catch something early or count your lucky stars because nothing was discovered. Either way you're ahead of the game.

For after my marriage I had made various attempts to write fiction. They were clearly failures.

Clearly if it is sensible to hold a referendum on independence it is crucial that we have one on marriage. It is the only way the country can move forward on this issue. Let all those who have a view on this subject place their trust in the Scottish people and let Scotland decide.

College is a place to keep warm between high school and an early marriage.

My own early crusade for same-sex marriage for example is now mainstream gay politics. It wasn't when I started.
