sleep eight years
For eight years, I was sleeping with the president, and if that doesn't give you special access, I don't know what does!
memories golden-years disease
They were very short, the golden years. The golden years are when you can sit back, hopefully, and exchange memories. And that's the worst part about this disease. There's nobody to exchange memories with.
jobs vacation president
Presidents don't get vacations - they just get a change of scenery. The job goes with you.
beautiful men common
Pornography is pornography, what is there to see? Movies are attempting to destroy something that's supposed to be the most beautiful thing a man and a woman can have by making it cheap and common. It's what you don't see that's attractive.
wise men doors
People don't understand that all presidents, the minute they become president, get a knock at the door. And there's a man there saying, 'Let's talk about your funeral.' At the time I thought, God, that's a terrible thing. Later on, I thought it was pretty wise.
friendship perspective doe
I am a big believer that you have to nourish any relationship. I am still very much a part of my friends' lives and they are very much a part of my life. A First Lady who does not have this source of strength and comfort can lose perspective and become isolated.

Embryonic stem cell research has the potential to alleviate so much suffering. Surely, by working together we can harness its life-giving potential.
Everything just fell into place with Ronnie and me. We completed each other.

years library lucky
A friend of mine said to me a year ago, "You're so lucky, Nancy, because Ronnie left you the library," She said, "You have that to work on, and to go to, and, in a sense, to be with him." I had never thought of it like that, but it's true. I go to the library or work for the library all the time, because it's Ronnie. I'm working for Ronnie.
home people very-happy
I have been very happy with my homes, but homes really are no more than the people who live in them.
thinking people would-be
I think more people would be alive today if there were a death penalty.
life-is-precious said stem-cell-research
As I've said before, time is short, and life is precious.
men opinion married
Every woman is entitled to an opinion and the right to express that opinion-especially to the man she's married to.
