If I'm just at the White House, I have meetings in my office, I sign letters, I plan different things. Late in the afternoon, I'll quit working and wait for my husband to get home.

Don't start smoking. It's much harder to stop than it is not to start at all.

Women have a better chance to secure freedom and protect themselves from violence, from abuse, from injustice, if they are well-educated and know their rights.

For countries to succeed, for democracies to succeed, the women and men in those countries need to be free. Women and men need to know their rights.

I would never do anything to undermine my husband's point of view.

I was so fortunate. My parents lived lives of service. They helped other people, that was their second nature; it came to them so naturally. It wasn't forced. This is their character, and it's a big advantage I have, being raised by people like this, having a secure and stable life, and a lot of love and encouragement.

We can overcome evil with greater good.
