The Democratic party is one that I've always observed. I have struggled greatly in life from the day I was born and I am honored to be apart of something that focuses on working class citizens and molds them into a proud specimen. Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Kennedy have done so much in that regard for the two generations they've won over during their career course.

You know the troubles I've had with my two older children. I can't understand why it turned out so badly. I tried to give them everything. I loved them and tried to keep them near me, even when they didn't return my love. Well, I couldn't make them love me, but they could have shown some respect. I couldn't insist on love, but I could insist on respect.

Sensitive husbands don't like second billing.

I never go outside unless I look like Joan Crawford the movie star. If you want to see the girl next door, go next door.

I was a strict disciplinarian, perhaps too strict at times, but my God, without discipline what is life?

Be afraid of nothing.
