thinking feminist doubt
I realize now that I was a feminist and the minute I heard the word I certainly knew it meant me, but at that time I don't think we had the label yet. But there's no doubt about it that I was born a feminist.
inspirational motivational thinking
You really do learn by example... Especially women, sometimes we think somebody's going to rescue us, or somebody's going to teach us how to do it, when in fact we have to understand that the biggest resource we have is inside of ourselves. I know that I can count on me to take care of me. That's a very important thing to know.
pain thinking feet
Chiropractic solved my neck and shoulder pains; it put me back on my feet. I think chiropractic is great!
thinking attention should
There are those who think that the private lives of candidates are none of our business. But when those candidates ask us for our attention as they explain their plans for how they will represent us, no one should be surprised at our interest in how they represent themselves.
sympathy loss thinking
I think loss of loved ones is the hardest blow in life.
dad thinking laughing
I think in my case, I had no choice but to have a good sense of humor. I grew up with my dad, Danny Thomas, and George Burns and Bob Hope and Milton Berle and Sid Caesar and all those guys were at our house all the time and telling jokes and making each other laugh.
growing-up thinking way
I think that there's got to be a comic gene in some way, but it's so much about it is how you grow up.
thinking two people
I have this theory that there are two kinds of people in the world, people who stop at a traffic accident and those that just drive by. If I see a traffic accident, I am going to stop. I do notice. I don't think that makes me a good or bad person, or anybody else better or worse.
husband men thinking
[On husband Phil Donahue:] The man does not know the meaning of the word tidy. He asked me one day, 'Where are my shoes?' So I asked him, 'Where are my shoes?' I don't know what it is about men. They think that women have radar attached to our uteruses.
believe thinking actions-speak-louder-than-words
We've been taught to believe that actions speak louder than words. But I think words speak pretty loud all of our lives; we carry these words in our head.
thinking important think-big
It's important to think big, but you've got to work small.
five inherited instant quite since single
Well it was quite a shock, especially since I inherited my five stepchildren. I went from being single to having an instant family.
equality equally man treated
One of the things about equality is not just that you be treated equally to man, but that you treat yourself equally the way you treat a man
eggs involved life work
I try to always keep myself involved in things in life other than just my work so that I don't always have all my eggs in one basket.
