My philosophy in life... is to prove myself to myself and not to others. I tried to teach my children that, that I have to respect myself, to prove to myself that I can do the best I can.

My daughter, unfortunately, is ill, because drug addiction is an illness. She's been fighting it for years.

I met Jeb Bush in 1971 in my hometown in Mexico. We dated for three years back and forth. Then, after three years, he proposed to me.

My father-in-law is so sensitive. Sometimes I think he displays too much love for my children.

My children are the most important thing in my life.

My children were born into this. They will always be the grandchildren of the President and First Lady of the United States.

I have three wonderful children. My husband is an absolutely wonderful, perfect husband and a father, most of all.

I've seen firsthand the terrible consequences of drug abuse. My heart is with all who suffer from addiction and the terrible consequences for their families.

I never imagined my life would be the way that it has been for the past 30 years. I have had the best experiences a person can have-and the worst as well.

My childhood, I would say, was a bit sad.

My heart was broken when I realized my daughter had a problem. I pray every day for her.

We didn't have to go looking for problems.

What do we care, if the world is a joke? We'll give it a big kiss, we'll give it a poke. Death wears a big hat cause he's a big bloke.

I dwell in Possibility A fairer house than Prose More numerous of Windows Superior — for Doors.

Never use a long word where a short one will do.

The keen spirit Seizes the prompt occasion, makes the thought Start into instant action, and at once Plans and performs, resolves and executes!

I shattered that memory by going back there. Without realizing it until it was too late, I replaced that memory with the emptiness of that day.

I'm getting old, don't wear underwear, and I don't go to church.

In the ten years I was president of the Teamsters, I had raised the membership from eight hundred thousand to more than 2 million and made it the largest single labor union the world.

Nothing was ever how you wanted it to be. Not anymore. Not for me.

You cannot make yourself feel something you do not feel, but you can make yourself do right in spite of your feelings.
