“I do have the most marvelous husband, children, and grandchildren.”

I hate abortions, but just could not make that choice for someone else.

I may be the only mother in America who knows exactly what their child is up to all the time.

I love talking to people, but what I really love is to feel you’re doing something instead of sitting home and twiddling your thumbs.

Family and friends and faith are the most important things in your life and you should be building friendships.

I don’t like attacking.

I’m not going to jump out of airplanes or anything like someone else I know.

Nancy Reagan was a perfectionist, and I am not.

You may think the president is all-powerful, but he is not. He needs a lot of guidance from the Lord.

Giving frees us from the familiar territory of our own needs by opening our mind to the unexplained worlds occupied by the needs of others.

I mean you can learn how to build a bullet or build a gun or build a bomb on the Internet.

And who knows? Somewhere out in this audience may even be someone who will one day follow in my footsteps, and preside over the White House as the President’s spouse. I wish him well!

I’m worried about parents who aren’t parenting.

At the end of your life, you will never regret not having passed one more test, not winning one more verdict or not closing one more deal. You will regret time not spent with a husband, a friend, a child, or a parent.

You have to love your children unselfishly. That’s hard. But it’s the only way.

I’m a little old-fashioned.

Whatever the era…one thing will never change: Fathers and mothers, if you have children, they must come first.

If only someone else could paint what I see, it would be marvellous, because then I wouldnt have to paint at all.

I kept thinking how marvellous it would be if I could somehow tear my heart, which felt so heavy, out of my chest.

The unknown always passes for the marvellous.

Magical, extraterrestrial, marvelous, enchanted, brave, beautiful, miraculous, royalty, a warrior, a deity. You are simply everything you are and choose to believe.

In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.

In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.

I give infinite thanks to God, who has been pleased to make me the first observer of marvelous things.

Yet through all this stress the forest is maintained in marvelous beauty.
