"Let me be clear. I support the definition of marriage as a union between a man and a woman." ― Ben Nelson Topic(s): Marriage More From Ben Nelson "What does it mean to be an American? While each of us may have our own specific answer to that question, we likely can agree on the basic principles of America: freedom, equal opportunity, and rights accompanied by responsibilities." "We can take full comfort in realizing the continuing strength of our nation. America’s lands remain radiantly rich with diversity, and freedom still reigns." "For many Americans, including many who are employed, going to the doctor when they fall ill or become injured may not be an option because of the absence of health insurance." More In Marriage "I know in my own marriage I stayed in it to provide my son with what I thought was a stable background and to give him what I thought was the family life a child should have with two parents. But that isn’t always the best way, and it took me taking my son to therapy after the divorce to really see it."― Regina King "In interviews I gave early on in my career, I was quoted as saying it was possible to have it all: a dynamic job, marriage, and children. In some respects, I was a social adolescent."― Jessica Savitch "Wit is the sudden marriage of ideas which before their union were not perceived to have any relation."― Mark Twain
