song real eye
Is this the real life Is this just fantasy Caught in a landslide No escape from reality Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy Because I'm easy come, easy go; little high, little low anyway the wind blows doesn't really matter to me To me
love family happiness
The upward course of a nation's history is due in the long run to the soundness of heart of its average men and women
years looks pleasure
1992 is not a year I shall look back on with undiluted pleasure. In the words of one of my more sympathetic correspondents, it hasturned out to be an Annus Horribilis.
baby pregnancy ready
These wretched babies don't come until they are ready.
sitting portraits teeth
[Before each of numerous portrait sittings:] Now then, with teeth or without?
heaven bits
For me, heaven is likely to be a bit of a come-down.
funny family queens
Like all the best families, we have our share of eccentricities, of impetuous and wayward youngsters and of family disagreements.
giving perspective long
There are long periods when life seems a small, dull round, a petty business with no point, and then suddenly we are caught up in some great event which gives us a glimpse of the solid and durable foundations of our existence.
peace form cases
It has perhaps always been the case that the waging of peace is the hardest form of leadership of all.
hope paving-the-way favour
What were once only hopes for the future have now come to pass...
believe our-generation generations
I believe that there is a great fear in our generation of being labeled as priggish.
thinking people
I hope people will think very carefully about the future,
courage queens bravery
Cowards falter, but danger is often overcome by those who nobly dare.
trouble
It has turned out to be an annus horribilis.
