I'm a competitive person, but I have never understood people's competitiveness at the expense of their colleagues.

And I have to tell you as a grandmother, I worry about the fact that my grandchildren are going to be paying for all the spending, including military spending, that has gone on and the tax cuts that have come through.

My desk drawer is filled with all kinds of prayers.

Tonight, the daughter of an immigrant from Italy has been chosen to run for vice president in the new land my father came to love.

You don't deliberately submit people you love to something like that. I don't think I'd run again for vice-president. Next time I'd run for president.

We are a religious nation because we do not have a state religion, because the government guarantees freedom of religion but has no role in religion, because not only do we tolerate our religious differences, we celebrate them.

I do believe in the power of prayer.
