I'm a great believer that the most important years are the sort of early years but the preschool years and then into the first and second grades. If you get a good base in the first and second grade and you can read, you can do anything.

I'm not being outspoken or pro or con abortion.

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

It was the dumbest thing I had ever seen, but it's a family thing, and I guess it's clean.

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

You get nothing done if you don't listen to each other.

Show me a wife who doesn't offer advice and I'll show you one who doesn't care very much.
