The greatest responsibility is your children. If my children turned out badly, I'd feel that nothing I had done was worthwhile.

I am happiest when I am alone.

I want to live my life, not record it.

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

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 have been through a lot and have suffered a great deal. But I have had lots of happy moments, as well. Every moment one lives is different from the other. The good, the bad, hardship, the joy, the tragedy, love, and happiness are all interwoven into one single, indescribable whole that is called life. You cannot separate the good from the bad. And perhaps there is no need to do so, either.

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