I now announce myself as candidate for the Presidency. I anticipate criticism; but however unfavorable I trust that my sincerity will not be called into question.

I shall not change my course because those who assume to be better than I desire it.

Every woman knows that if she were free, she would never bear an unwished-for child nor think of murdering one before its birth.

When I found I had given birth to a human wreckage, to a child that was an imbecile, my heart was broken.

You are all aware that my private life has been pictured to the public by the press of the country with the intent to make people believe me to be a very bad woman.

Women have no government.

Entrepreneurs are risk takers, willing to roll the dice with their money or reputations on the line in support of an idea or enterprise.
