Love of books is the best of all.

I'll be a wife and mother first, then First Lady.

I will tell you one thing. They will never drag me out like a little old widow like they did Mrs. Wilson when President Wilson died. I will never be used that way.

I think my biggest achievement is that, after going through a rather difficult time, I consider myself comparatively sane.

The one thing I do not want to be called is First Lady. It sounds like a saddle horse. Would you notify the telephone operators and everyone else that I'm to be known simply as Mrs. Kennedy and not as First Lady.

Americans care about their past, but for short term gain they ignore it and tear down everything that matters.

The first time you marry for love, the second for money, and the third for companionship.
