“It is not tears but determination that makes pain bearable.”

No one will ever feel sorry for me.

Modern candidates seem to have to live with political matters all the time. In my father’s time, a politician’s home was still his castle.

I tried to allow my children to take risks, to test themselves. Better broken bones than broken spirit.

In my life, I am often reminded that there is a destiny that rules over us, because no one whom I know about or whom I read about seems to be completely happy during a long time.

Make sure you never, never argue at night. You just lose a good night’s sleep, and you can’t settle anything until morning anyway.

My greatest regret is not having gone to Wellesley College. it is something I have felt a little sad about my whole life.

Make sure you never, never argue at night. You just lose a good night’s sleep, and you can’t settle anything until morning anyway.

I looked on child rearing not only as a work of love and duty but as a profession that was fully as interesting and challenging as any honorable profession in the world and one that demanded the best that I could bring to it.

In the middle of a world that had always been a bit mad, the cat walks with confidence.

My father was a great innovator in public life, but when it came to raising his daughters, no one could have been more conservative.

My father had extravagant notions of my beauty, grace, wit, and charm.

There’s nothing I like less than bad arguments for a view that I hold dear.

It’s our money, and we’re free to spend it any way we please.

There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me.

It is your decisions, and not your conditions, that determine your destiny.

You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.

What comes out of your mouth is determined by what goes into your mind.

If you set goals and go after them with all the determination you can muster, your gifts will take you places that will amaze you.

You are free to choose, but the choices you make today will determine what you have, be, and do in the tomorrow of your life.
