Any criticism of someone you love is hard to take...
We can overcome evil with greater good.
I would never do anything to undermine my husband’s point of view.
Girls learn how to relate to men from the way their fathers love them. And if their fathers really love them and want the very best for them, then they’ve seen that kind of good behavior that they’d want in a husband.
I was the same way after graduating with a degree in education. I started to teach and I was wondering: do I really know how to teach?

Though my plans at the moment are vague, I can assure you that I’ll never run for the Senate in New York.
When I was in my 20s, I was a bookworm – spent 12 hours of the day in the library. How I met George, I’ll never know.
All people need to know how AIDS is transmitted, and every country has an obligation to educate its citizens. This is why every country must also improve literacy, especially for women and girls, so that they can make wise choices that will keep them healthy and safe.

I like this idea of generation after generation helping children on the streets, kids who have run away fleeing violence. I like the whole idea of opening arms for children who have nowhere else to go, sleeping by dumpsters.
Diseases don’t respect borders. You know, just at the edge of the American border, that isn’t the edge of diseases. We need to be sure that we’re looking worldwide. And it is in our security interest, as well as our moral interest, to pay attention to the rest of the world.
