It was the courts of course that took away prayer from our schools that took away Bible reading from our schools. It's the courts that gave us same-sex marriage. So it is quite a battlefield and the Supreme Court is the highest court in the land.

Marriage in life is like a duel in the midst of a battle.

Marriage is a lot of things - a source of love security the joy of children but it's also an interpersonal battlefield and it's not hard to see why: Take two disparate people toss them together in often-confined quarters add the stresses of money and kids - now lather rinse repeat for the rest of your natural life. What could go wrong?

Marriage is like life - it is a field of battle not a bed of roses.

All brave men love for he only is brave who has affections to fight for whether in the daily battle of life or in physical contests.

Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle love is a war love is a growing up.

This is as true in everyday life as it is in battle: we are given one life and the decision is ours whether to wait for circumstances to make up our mind or whether to act and in acting to live.

We got a little waylaid along the way. The whole problem started about 10 years ago with management and legal battles then still trying to make albums while I was doing all of that.

We're involved right now in some very significant legal battles and it would be the wrong thing for me to do to step out in the middle of those battles.

The legal battle against segregation is won but the community battle goes on.
