I have been told that I have been played at - my music's been played at funerals, deaths, births, weddings. Weddings, I find very surprising.

Patty Griffin

I think weddings are sadder than funerals, because they remind you of your own wedding. You can't be reminded of your own funeral because it hasn't happened. But weddings always make me cry.

Brendan Behan

One of the dogs in the competition, a Portuguese Water Dog, is related to President Obama's dog, Bo. But they only see each other at funerals and weddings.

David Letterman

Weddings and funerals have so much in common (except that in Ireland funerals are more fun - better food, better drink): at both, our senses are sharpened and we register much more than usual - a striking face or hair-do, the wind's behaviour, a bird singing.

Michael Longley

The only census of the senses, so far as I am aware, that ever before made them more than five, was the Irishman's reckoning of seven senses. I presume the Irishman's seventh sense was common sense; and I believe that the possession of that virtue by my countrymen-I speak as an Irishman.

Lord Kelvin

The Irish are often nervous about having the appropriate face for the occasion. They have to be happy at weddings, which is a strain, so they get depressed; they have to be sad at funerals, which is easy, so they get happy.

Peggy Noonan

Put an Irishman on the spit and you can always get another Irishman to turn him.

George Bernard Shaw

Weddings and funerals are when you figure out who your real friends are.

Amy Dickinson

You know you're getting old when you go to more funerals than you do weddings.

Jimmy Dean

Bollywood is a great place. You can expect support for award ceremonies, weddings, and funerals.

Pooja Bhatt

I find old women at weddings and funerals attractive; I have this weird mortality thing.

Liev Schreiber

Sometimes funerals and weddings bring out the worst rather than the best in people.

Jeanne Phillips

We have birthdays and bar mitzvahs and funerals and weddings. And these ceremonies and rituals, I believe, really help us transition from one point to another.

Suleika Jaouad

I guess I do prefer a ball cap. I have performed without a cap, mostly at funerals and weddings.

Rodney Atkins

My first company was MicroSolutions. I worked 20 hours a day. I didn't take a vacation for 7 years. I didn't even take the time to read a fiction book. It was all about work. When I sold it, I promised myself I would never wear a watch and only wear a suit to weddings, funerals and to meet the President.

Mark Cuban

I never go to weddings. Waste of time. Person can get married a dozen times. Lots of folks do. Family like ours, know everybody in the state of Texas and around outside, why, you could spend your life going to weddings. But a funeral, that's different. You only die once.

Edna Ferber
