Time spent in prayer is never wasted.
You can never ask God to tell you what the end is. You can ask, "Is this a good thing to do?" But not, "How is this going to turn out?" That answer you will never get.
We are all children of the same God, and we have to come together to solve our problems and not be fighting so much.
We need to respect choices that women make.
The greatest advantage of being First Lady is the opportunity it presents to truly make a difference on issues of great importance.
They were not easy years. You have to understand, I was raised in a lovely neighborhood, as was Mitt, and at BYU, we moved into a $62-a-month basement apartment with a cement floor and lived there two years as students with no income. . . Neither one of us had a job, because Mitt had enough of an investment from stock that we could sell off a little at a time.
You know, I think my biggest concern [if Mitt is elected], obviously, would just be for his mental well-being. I have all the confidence in the world in his ability, in his decisiveness and his leadership skills, in his understanding of the economy, in his understanding of what's missing right now in the economy - you know, pieces that are missing to get this jump-started. So for me I think it would just be the emotional part of it.
Invest in people who will take care of you when you're old.
What becomes of the broken-hearted? They buy shoes.
For me, ideology is defined only by how the coordinates of your meaningful experience of the world, and your place within society, relate to the basic tensions and antagonisms of social orders.
If I became a philosopher, if I have so keenly sought this fame for which I'm still waiting, it's all been to seduce women basically.
