The personal things should be left out of platforms at conventions. You can argue yourself blue in the face, and you're not going to change each other's minds. It's a waste of your time and my time.

But why should we hear about body bags and deaths, and how many, what day it's gonna happen, and how many this or what do you suppose? Or, I mean, it's not relevant. So, why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?

Your success as a family... our success as a nation... depends not on what happens inside the White House, but on what happens inside your house.

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

Believe in something larger than yourself ... to get involved in some of the big ideas of our time.

Value your friendship. Value your relationships.

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