I am every day more convinced that we women, if we are to be good women, feminine and amiable and domestic, are not fitted to reign; at least it is they that drive themselves to the work which it entails.

Everybody grows but me.

I knew at that moment I had to make a choice. I could submit to everything that was happening and live a life of excuses or I could push myself make my life good.

I said to myself: what if I woke up, and every single day I did everything within my ability during that day to change my life. What could happen in just a month? A year?

I feel like my life has been a series of miracles. I was in every sense a lost cause.

Ma was legally blind due to a degenerative eye disease she'd had since birth. This meant she was entitled to welfare, and our lives revolved around the first day of every month when her payment was due.

Life has a way of doing that; one minute everything makes sense, the next, things change. People get sick. Families break apart, your friends could close the door on you.

I love Manchester. Everyone knows that - I have said it many times. Manchester is in my heart.

Don Alfredo leaves us, but his memory will last forever in our hearts. Legends never die. Thanks for everything Maestro.

I'm a marvelous housekeeper—every time I leave a man, I keep his house.

We should remain students for lifetime. You should be ready and yearn to learn from every moment of life.

I'm like the kid in kindergarten I really do send valentines to everyone.

Everything's coming up roses - for me.

My whole problem is that all of my favorite things at Thanksgiving are the starches and everyone is trying to go low-carb this year even a green vegetable has carbs in it.

I celebrated Thanksgiving in an old-fashioned way. I invited everyone in my neighborhood to my house we had an enormous feast and then I killed them and took their land.

Every St. Patrick's Day every Irishman goes out to find another Irishman to make a speech to.

Being Irish is very much a part of who I am. I take it everywhere with me.

I like to go to parties where I know everyone. How are you going to have fun with people you don't know?

Strange to see how a good dinner and feasting reconciles everybody.

I have no way of knowing how people really feel but the vast majority of those I meet couldn't be nicer. Every once in a while someone barks at me. My New Year's resolution is not to bark back.

If you want an interesting party sometime combine cocktails and a fresh box of crayons for everyone.

All of us every single year we're a different person. I don't think we're the same person all our lives.

Do we believe that there is equal economic opportunity out there in the real world right now for each and every one of these groups? If we believed in the tooth fairy if we believed in the Easter Bunny we might well believe that.

To a Christian Easter Sunday means everything when we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
