I've always said that in politics, your enemies can't hurt you, but your friends will kill you.

I have always had the feeling I could do anything and my dad told me I could. I was in college before I found out he might be wrong.

We saw farms go on the auction block while we bought food from foreign countries. Well, that's wrong.

Let me tell you, sisters, seeing dried egg on a plate in the morning is a lot dirtier than anything I've had to deal with in politics.

I had such high expectations of myself. I was going to be the best mother, the best housewife, the best entertainer, the best nurse, you know - what it was, I was going to be the best. And I could never live up to my expectations.

We're not going to have the America that we want until we elect leaders who are going to tell the truth - not most days, but every day.

Now we Democrats believe that America is still the country of fair play, that we can come out of a small town or a poor neighborhood and have the same chance as anyone else, and it doesn't matter whether we are black or Hispanic, or disabled or women.
