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.

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.

Ive always told my children that life is like a layer cake. You get to put one layer on top of the other and whether you frost it or not is up to you.

Ive always said that in politics your enemies cant hurt you but your friends will kill you.

The here and now is all we have, and if we play it right it's all we'll need.

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

We aim in the domain of politics at republicanism; in the domain of economics at socialism; in the domain of what is today called religion, at atheism.

I have come to realize that Jesse Helms stands for everything in politics that is anathema to me.

Like religion, politics, and family planning, cereal is not a topic to be brought up in public. It's too controversial.

I'm not an old, experienced hand at politics. But I am now seasoned enough to have learned that the hardest thing about any political campaign is how to win without proving that you are unworthy of winning.

We live in a world in which politics has replaced philosophy.

I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend.

Hope springs eternal, even in politics.

Politics is about winning. If you don't win, you don't get to put your principles into practice. Therefore, find a way to win, or sit the battle out.

I don't think at my age... you can start ruling people out in politics.

The new generation of Labour is different. Different attitudes, different ideas, different ways of doing politics.

The world of politics is always twenty years behind the world of thought.

A politics that is not sensitive to the concerns and circumstances of people's lives, a politics that does not speak to and include people, is an intellectually arrogant politics that deserves to fail.

The challenge is to practice politics as the art of making what appears to be impossible, possible.

Politics is the enemy of the imagination.

In almost every country there are elements of opinion which would welcome such a conclusion because they wish to return to the politics of the balance of power, unrestricted and unregulated armaments, international anarchy, and preparation for war.

Even if we don't know it or aren't aware of it, politics and philosophy are really what make our up lives.

So begins a question which has of late become more and more urgent: what is the relation of aesthetics to politics?

The Olympics are coming... and it's a big problem in American politics, because the problem with holding the Olympics this fall is that we're all going to be focused on the Olympics, and it makes that window of opportunity for Gore to win the election that much smaller.
