“I know not age, nor weariness nor defeat.”

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.

If you can keep your head about you when all about you are losing theirs, it’s just possible you haven’t grasped the situation.

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.

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.

Birds sing after a storm. Why shouldn’t we?

I have had quite an interesting life. My husband was quite successful in the movies, and we went out frequently with Gloria Swanson and other stars.

I would much rather be known as the mother of a great son than the author of a great book or the painter of a great masterpiece.

I have always believed that God never gives a cross to bear larger than we can carry. No matter what, he wants us to be happy, not sad. birds sing after a storm. Why shouldn’t we?

It is selfish to concern oneself with tragedies.

The time will come when it will disgust you to look in the mirror.

Winning and losing have their significance in a democracy. But there should be no arrogance in victory, nor should there be any despondency in defeat.

I’m really happy, and beating Marc [Marquez] at the very last chicane gives me an extra boost.

I never race for records. The motivation to try to beat the record is not enough to continue. You have to enjoy it.

[Marco] Rubio says we should collect all Americans’ records all of the time. The Constitution says otherwise. I think they’re both wrong. I think we defeat terrorism by showing them that we do not fear them.

The sincere hearts and the pious supplications are soldiers which can never be defeated.

Television is very dangerous. Because it repeats and repeats and repeats our disasters, instead of our triumphs.

Always have the situation under control, even if losing. Never betray an inward sense of defeat.

Put me up against Sarah Silverman and I could take her.
