I believe in recovery, and I believe that as a role model I have the responsibility to let young people know that you can make a mistake and come back from it.

Teaching was the hardest work I had ever done, and it remains the hardest work I have done to date.

I thought I knew Texas pretty well, but I had no notion of its size until I campaigned it.

I have always had the feeling I could do anything and my dad told me I could. I was in college before I found out he might be wrong.

I believe in recovery, and I believe that as a role model I have the responsibility to let young people know that you can make a mistake and come back from it.

I have a real soft spot in my heart for librarians and people who care about books.

I have very strong feelings about how you lead your life. You always look ahead, you never look back.

I've always said that in politics, your enemies can't hurt you, but your friends will kill you.

Let me tell you, sisters, seeing dried egg on a plate in the morning is a lot dirtier than anything I've had to deal with in politics.

Everything that we used to think got taught at home now seemingly has to be taught in the public school system, and something is going to get lost in the process.

I did not want my tombstone to read, 'She kept a really clean house.' I think I'd like them to remember me by saying, 'She opened government to everyone.'

I don't think people maybe think that the government does tell them the truth. I think they expect politicians who are going to tell them one thing and then when they get in office do something else.

I had such high expectations of myself. I was going to be the best mother, the best housewife, the best entertainer, the best nurse, you know - what it was, I was going to be the best. And I could never live up to my expectations.

I have an awfully good life.

I just feel like I'm a very lucky person to have a new life outside of politics.

I like candidates who tell me something that is going to make a difference to me.

I think you have to deal with grief in the sense that you have to recognize that you have it, and say that it's OK to have all the sadness.

I was born during the Depression in a little community just outside Waco, and I grew up listening to Franklin Roosevelt on the radio.

Now we Democrats believe that America is still the country of fair play, that we can come out of a small town or a poor neighborhood and have the same chance as anyone else, and it doesn't matter whether we are black or Hispanic, or disabled or women.

Osteoporosis is a disease that attacks the bones in your body. It happens to really almost everyone when they get really old. But for women, after menopause, they can lose up to 30 percent of their bone mass.

People don't know that New York really is just made up of a group of very small neighborhoods.

Sometimes when I'm watching television and something, an image, will come on that has to do with 9/11 or some of these families telling their stories, or children talking about drawing pictures of airplanes flying into towers, you know, I find myself still choking up.

There is not a doubt in my mind that the people of America are hunkered down. They are afraid.

We're living in a whole new social and economic order with a whole new set of problems and challenges. Old assumptions and old programs don't work in this new society and the more we try to stretch them to make them fit, the more we will be seen as running away from what is reality.

We're not going to have the America that we want until we elect leaders who are going to tell the truth - not most days, but every day.

Well, you know my number one cause has always been that women's reproductive health needs to be protected.

Well, you know, too much democracy is a sort of sad thing.

Marriage is a very good thing, but I think it's a mistake to make a habit out of it.

It's pretty simple, pretty obvious: that people's first impressions of people are really a big mistake.

They all went into the bar business. Which was a mistake, because they began to sip at the merchandise and it set them back, set us all back. Well, them more than I.

The choice is between which mistake is easier to correct: underdoing it or overdoing it.

I've got to keep breathing. It'll be my worst business mistake if I don't.

They think something's gone wrong, but in Don't Look Now, for instance, one scene was made by a mistake. It's the scene where Donald Sutherland goes to look for the policeman who's investigating the two women.

It's a mistake to assume that Islamists always come from the slums. Indeed, many come from affluent families but for some reason just couldn't manage to integrate into Western society, even though they had good opportunities for advancement.

I find that the best way to do things is to constantly move forward and to never doubt anything and keep moving forward, if you make a mistake say you made a mistake.

The first mistake of art is to assume that it's serious.

It's a great mistake, I think, to put children off with falsehoods and nonsense, when their growing powers of observation and discrimination excite in them a desire to know about things.

The secularists in Turkey haven't underestimated religion, they just made the mistake of believing they could control it with the power of the army alone.

In traditional schools, you're penalized for making a mistake. But that won't work in the new information culture, in the digital world we live in today.

You are just as capable of making a mistake as anyone else. By insisting too eagerly upon a small right, you may turn it into a wrong against yourself and also against your neighbor.

Last Friday night, I Twitted a photograph of myself that I intended to send as a direct message as part of a joke to a woman in Seattle. Once I realized I posted to Twitter I panicked, I took it down and said that I had been hacked. I then continued with that story, to stick to that story which was a hugely regrettable mistake.

It is a mistake for a sculptor or a painter to speak or write very often about his job. It releases tension needed for his work.

Make no mistake about it. These are not 'kookie' birds. Right now the greatest player, the big tent on the political scene in America, is called the Tea Party movement.

I surrendered my youth to the people I feared when I could have been out there loving someone. Don't make that mistake yourself. Life's too damn short.
