I am just an old-fashioned girl.

I tell myself that God gave my children many gifts - spirit, beauty, intelligence, the capacity to make friends and to inspire respect. There was only one gift he held back - length of life.

Money doesn't give you any license to relax. It gives you an opportunity to use all your abilities, free of financial worries, to go forward, and to use your superior advantages and talents to help others.

There can be no really pervasive system of oppression, such as that in the United States, without the consent of the oppressed

It is selfish to concern oneself with tragedies.

Modern candidates seem to have to live with political matters all the time. In my father's time, a politician's home was still his castle.

When I think of my past, I try to dwell on the good times, the happy moments, and not to be haunted by the bad. . . To me the gift of life is contained in the command, whatever happens: "Don't let it get you. Just keep on going." Thus, I try to think of the good that I have already experienced and what will still be coming.
