I do like to have guns around. I don't like to carry them. But I like - if somebody is going to come into my house and I have not put out the welcome mat, I want to stop them.

If we live long enough, we may even get over war. I imagine a time when somebody will mention the word war and everyone in the room will start to laugh. And what do you mean war?

This is a wonderful day, I have never seen this one before.

Every person needs to take one day away. A day in which one consciously separates the past from the future.

My mother had said me, "All right, you've been raised, so don't let anybody else raise you. You know the difference between right and wrong. Do right. And remember - you can always come home." And she continued to liberate me until she died. On the night she died, I went to the hospital. I told my mom, "Let me tell you about yourself. You deserved a great daughter, and you got one. And you liberated me to be one. So if it's time for you to go, you may have done everything God brought you here to do."

Whining is not only graceless, but it can be dangerous. It can alert a brute that a victim is in the neighborhood.

I would like to be known as an intelligent woman, a courageous woman, a loving woman, a woman who teaches by being.
