I'm a happy camper because by doing this I have an opportunity to be on the cutting edge of research.

I don't consider myself a survivor; that's someone who has gone through something terrible.

See that's a goal that I think it's very good in the debate to find out who the person is.

I don't like to practice ahead of time what I'm going to say.

I was a trial lawyer when I was elected to Congress.

The polls indicated that I was feisty, that I was tough, that I had a sense of humor, but they weren't quite sure if they liked me and they didn't know whether or not that I was sensitive.

And I have to tell you as a grandmother, I worry about the fact that my grandchildren are going to be paying for all the spending, including military spending, that has gone on and the tax cuts that have come through.

But I made one mistake which I would never repeat as a member of Congress when I was in Washington, and that was when I was elected I didn't go on trips because I was so afraid of having someone accuse me of taking junkets.

But I do think its necessary to have debates.

We were so shocked by how fast that war went that President Bush did not have a plan, a peace plan.

For one thing, one of the wonderful things that we now have is instead of the huge budget surpluses that President Clinton left us with, we now have these huge deficits that we're going to be facing into the future.

We had prepared, my staff had prepared for me a whole dossier on virtually - on George Bush on his votes on his records, what he had done over the past number of years in public service.

If you ask me a question, don't tell me what the question is in advance, 'cause I'd rather not know.

What are my sources of strength? My husband and my three kids, my health-care team, and my religion.

The public is entitled to know whether or not I am married to Jack The Ripper.

The bottom line as far as I was concerned was presenting to the public who Gerry Ferraro was.

You people married to Italian men, you know what it's like.

If you think somebody cares about you and believes your life is worth saving, how can you give up?

People who live through transplants or disasters like Sept. 11 are survivors.

I didn't look very sensitive and they didn't know me very well.

I'd call it a new version of voodoo economics, but I'm afraid that would give witch doctors a bad name.

Vice president - it has such a nice ring to it!

You don't have to have fought in a war to love peace.

I'm a happy camper because by doing this I have an opportunity to be on the cutting edge of research.

I have been extremely lucky; I am a person who is currently living with a cancer that is under control.

I enjoyed debate on the floor but it's not really debate in the same way.

I readily admit I was not an expert on foreign policy but I was knowledgeable and I didn't need a man who was the Vice President of the United States and my opponent turning around and putting me down.

I didn't serve on a committee that dealt with foreign policy.

My desk drawer is filled with all kinds of prayers.

President Reagan's one-liners were terrific.

And it was, it was not beating George Bush, believe it or not, the bottom line as far as I was concerned was introducing to the public who Gerry Ferraro was.

I do believe in the power of prayer.

If you take advantage of everything America has to offer, there's nothing you can't accomplish.

We are a religious nation because we do not have a state religion because the government guarantees freedom of religion but has no role in religion because not only do we tolerate our religious differences we celebrate them.

Green-tech could be the largest economic opportunity of the 21st Century.

What the war did was give me the opportunity of three years of continuous reading, and it was in the course of reading that I became convinced that I should become an economist.

I'll tell you what I did need to learn was tolerance, and I think I've been actually given a daily opportunity to practice that, and it's - it's - and I know that that sounds almost like a backhanded slap, and it is in a way because I haven't been successful at it every day.

Let's take a timeout. Let's allow investors the opportunity in a period of market calm to re-examine what's happened and to deploy new strategies into the marketplace.

We have a responsibility to ensure that every individual has the opportunity to receive a high-quality education, from prekindergarten to elementary and secondary, to special education, to technical and higher education and beyond.

When I talk to people in need, they tell me they want to hope; they are eager for opportunity; they are ready for better days. And I can tell you that every time their hopes are disappointed, all nations lose.

I was grateful for the opportunity to make a difference. The political violence really started in 1970-1971. The political difficulties start a little bit beyond that.

The men and women of our armed forces played an instrumental role in the election process - securing polling sites and providing security - that allowed so many Iraqis the opportunity to vote freely for the first time ever.

The opportunity to create a small world between two pieces of cardboard, where time exists yet stands still, where people talk and I tell them what to say, is exciting and rewarding.

Success is where preparation and opportunity meet.

Today knowledge has power. It controls access to opportunity and advancement.

I just have my own taste, and I just try and stick with that. I'm just trying to play as many characters as I can for as long as I have an opportunity to.

Education is our greatest opportunity to give an irrevocable gift to the next generation.

When I decided to get married at 40, I couldn't find a dress with the modernity or sophistication I wanted. That's when I saw the opportunity for a wedding gown business.

The promise of equal educational opportunity envisioned by the Brown decision remains unfulfilled.
