I mean, if you degrade someone, you isolate them, you control them, you call them names, you demean them. That’s a horrible existence for people.

These are our neighbours, our co-workers, friends’ children… the problem is closer than you think, but so is the solution.

Think about all of the times, situations, and circumstances where you have gotten caught up in making your self right rather than happy… The harder you fight to win, the bigger you lose.

If you’ve gone into a marriage and you haven’t been clear about how you’re going to handle money, how you want to raise kids, who is going to work or stay home or what have you, then you’ve set yourself up for failure.

If somebody put a loaded gun to my head & said call your wife the “c” word, i would just tell them to shoot cause it s a quicker death!

The difference between winners and losers is that winners do things losers don’t want to do.

It was like being in the eye of a hurricane. You’d wake up in a concert and think, Wow, how did I get here?

This is not new territory. Stop lights like lullabies write my eulogy.

Opinions are like asses, every body’s got one!

Who we are now is all that really matters.

You must do the things you think you cannot do.

I mean, I’m very, very competitive.

We Americans… bear the ark of liberties of the world.

Like all things vast and beautiful, I want to know the depths of which you exist. It has never been enough to wade in the shallows.

I have been through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened.

Let us not forget: I didn’t just wake up First Lady… I mean, I went to law school, I practised law, I worked for the city, I ran a nonprofit (and) I was an executive at a hospital. I’ve been in the world. I’ve worked in every sector, and you don’t do that without coming up against some stuff. You know, having your feelings hurt, having people say things about you that aren’t true… Life hits you, so over the course of living, you learn how to protect yourself in it. You learn to take in what you need and get rid of the stuff that’s clearly not true.

I am from the planet of elegance.

Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.

Golf is a good walk spoiled.

The sense of injustice, more than the unjust condition itself, is what wears on men’s minds.

My pessimism extends to the point of even suspecting the sincerity of the pessimists.
