house

I have to confess that I've never been a great fan of Christmas or, as it's known in our house, The Monster That Ate the Last Third of the Year. It's mostly the rampant consumerism I object to, but I'm also a little wary of the annual crop of new Christmas stories and sometimes wonder why anyone bothers.

My mother-in-law has come round to our house at Christmas seven years running. This year we're having a change. We're going to let her in.

T'was the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

My dad could be beyond brilliant but totally introverted. If we're talking about computers, he's on. Otherwise, he's a total recluse - he stays in the house and won't leave, and I'm like that. If I'm not working, I'm locked up in my room.

The behavior of the crowd at Churchill Downs is like 100,000 vicious Hyenas going berserk all at once in a space about the size of a 777 jet or the White House lawn.

The house is in turmoil with records on every space. In the kitchen and in the dining room is covered with records. I don't have a big enough house to accommodate everything.

I like Barack Obama as a person. He's articulate, he knows sports, his brother-in-law's a coach. He always has the athletes to the White House. But I don't know about some of his policies and some of these people in Congress.

I don't know any member of Congress who ever said, 'I'm satisfied with the communication that we have from the White House.'

I'm not cool enough to hang out with any rock stars. Jay-Z doesn't come over to my house. I don't hang out with Ted Nugent.

There is no loneliness greater than the loneliness of a failure. The failure is a stranger in his own house.

Members of the Senate and House, if they want to send troops into war, should be forced to send a family member. That would really make everyone stop and go, 'Ohhh-kaaay.'

Our motto is we respect and honour the pigness of the pig and the chickenness of the chicken. That means not confining them in a house with hundreds of others.

My goal involves a hammock, a vegetable patch, and a solar-powered house. And I hope to eventually get there.

Regard it as just as desirable to build a chicken house as to build a cathedral.

No man is regular in his attendance at the House of Commons until he is married.

Houses are built to live in and not to look on.

He that lives in a glass house must not throw stones.

Fools build houses and wise men buy them.
