I wanted to be a cattle rancher when I was young, because it was what I knew and I loved it.

If I stumbled badly in doing the job, I think it would have made life more difficult for women, and that was a great concern of mine and still is.

Society as a whole benefits immeasurably from a climate in which all persons, regardless of race or gender, may have the opportunity to earn respect, responsibility, advancement and remuneration based on ability.

The courts of this country should not be the places where resolution of disputes begins. They should be the places where the disputes end after alternative methods of resolving disputes have been considered and tried.

The more education a woman has, the wider the gap between men's and women's earnings for the same work.

The destiny of the woman must be shaped to a large extent on her own conception of her spiritual imperative and her place in society.

I think it's inevitable that some of the court's decisions will be found by a segment of the public to be not the right decision or subject to criticism.
