“What greater aspiration and challenge are there for a mother than the hope of raising a great son or daughter?”

As motherhood is the greatest and most natural God-given gift for women for posterity, it would seem that the birth and rearing of children, in the way which to us seems most ideal, would be the most satisfying and the most rewarding career for a woman.

I’ve had an exciting time; I married for love and got a little money along with it.

To my mind, there was no one in the world like my father. Wherever he was, there was magic in the air.

I don’t think you’re much good, unless you’re doing good to someone.

It’s wrong for parents to bury their children. It should be the other way around.

There can be no really pervasive system of oppression, such as that in the United States, without the consent of the oppressed.

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

I don’t think you’re much good, unless you’re doing good to someone.

I know not age, nor weariness nor defeat.

I am not going to be licked by tragedy, as life is a challenge, and we must carry on and work for the living as well as mourn for the dead.

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.

My love, I challenge you to liberate your destiny and free your dreams from your limiting belief.

No. I probably do better not being in politics. They have too much control over you when you are in politics.

I personally think if something’s not a challenge there’s no point doing it because you’re not gonna learn much.

I always take criticism as a challenge. It’s the way I’ve always looked at it.

I just keep active – everything thats challenging me, everything that I feel like doing.

If there’s a perfect family out there, we’re all happy for that family. But most families aren’t perfect. Most families are living with some sort of challenge or some sort of difficulty.

I really started writing music to challenge myself, to see what I could write.

It’s always nice to be challenged.
