“I don’t feel that because I’m First Lady, I’m very different from what I was before. It can happen to anyone. After all, it has happened to anyone.”

My makeup wasn’t smeared, I wasn’t disheveled, I behaved politely, and I never finished off a bottle, so how could I be alcoholic?

Having babies is a blessing, not a duty.

You never know what you can do until you have to do it.

Any woman should have the right to a safe and legal abortion.

I know I was an alcoholic because I was preoccupied whether alcohol was going to be served or not.

The problem with drugs is that people forget to stop doing them. There’s a time and a place for everything, Mr. Mackey, and it’s called college.

The search for human freedom can never be complete without freedom for women.

My family joins me in sharing the difficult news that Gerald Ford, our beloved husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather has passed away at 93 years of age. His life was filled with love of God, his family and his country.

A housewife deserves to be honored as much as a woman who earns her living in the marketplace. I consider bringing up children a responsible job. In fact, being a good housewife seems to me a much tougher job than going to the office and getting paid for it.

I think once I made up my mind that I was allergic to alcohol, and that’s what I learned, it made sense to me. And I think it was kind of pointed out that you know if you were allergic to strawberries, you wouldn’t eat strawberries. And that made sense to me.

That’s what we’re here on this Earth for, to help others.

Holding these babies in my arms makes me realize the miracle my husband and I began.

Alcohol may pick you up a little bit, but it lets you down in a hurry.

We’re full all the time. And people do have good success and I think one of the programs at the center, the Continuing Care, helps them with their success. Because it’s difficult the first year.

You can make it, but it’s easier if you don’t have to do it alone.

The first session I did with the Stones was an accident. I just happened to be wandering down the hallway of the same studio.

I remember when TV networks believed in the First Amendment. It is a messed up situation when Miley Cyrus gets a laugh, and Phil Robertson gets suspended.

The first thing the federal government can do to help is get out of the way.

I hope some historian will confirm that I was the first cartoonist to use the word ‘booger’ in a newspaper comic strip.

We’ll be getting rid of these people here… First, Mr. Samir Naga… Naga… Naga… Not gonna work here anymore, anyway.

This is not the time for partisan bickering. This is not the time for politics as usual. Some of us are Democrats. Some of us are Republicans. Some of us are Independents. Above all, we must be Oklahomans first.

The music is first and foremost everything – no egos, no attitude, nothing – it’s about the music.

At first, the only thing that I learned was to save. Then I learned about mutual fund, then later on direct stock investments. I also went into small businesses and even real estate.
