My mom was a single mom and she had enough on her plate. I knew when I was doing something I wasn't supposed to and I tried to keep her from finding out about it. I did a pretty good job of that.

Something my mom taught me when I was little is that everything happens for a reason.

My mom always says 'If you don't believe in something you'll lose yourself completely.'

Every time I think I have something under control it changes and I don't have it under control. I think it takes several years to get there. Jade is 19 months old so right now I'm on alert all the time. And as a mom I think you're constantly worrying about things.

My mom knows when something is real and something is not.

I wish my mother had left me something about how she felt growing up. I wish my grandmother had done the same. I wanted my girls to know me.

One can be a brother only in something. Where there is no tie that binds men men are not united but merely lined up.

All men profess honesty as long as they can. To believe all men honest would be folly. To believe none so is something worse.

Something unpleasant is coming when men are anxious to tell the truth.

All soldiers who serve their country and put their lives at risk need to know that if something happens to them their families will be well taken care of. That's the bond we have with our military men and women and their families.

Happy is he who still loves something he loved in the nursery: He has not been broken in two by time he is not two men but one and he has saved not only his soul but his life.

Ignorant people see life as either existence or non-existence but wise men see it beyond both existence and non-existence to something that transcends them both this is an observation of the Middle Way.

In the long run men hit only what they aim at. Therefore they had better aim at something high.

Wise men speak because they have something to say Fools because they have to say something.

Luck is not something you can mention in the presence of self-made men.

I went to Duke University in the medical track. And then I decided I wanted to do something more creative so I switched to biochemistry at Nebraska.

I'd like to think Helen very much understood what it was to be disadvantaged in the medical field. And that that was something that she never let dictate her choices.

Whether it's possible or not being a doctor you take an oath. To care for your patient not to kill them. You take an oath to do things that are proper in the medical world. Not to administer something outside of a hospital setting that's not even your area.

The whole story of the comfort women the system of forced sexual slavery the medical experiments of Unit 731 is not something that is in the US psyche. That is changing because many books are coming out.

If I'm pushed I'd also have to admit I don't like people with allergies. They just annoy me. There seems to be something far too self-centred about it. 'No thanks I'm allergic.' Why not just say 'No thanks'? I wasn't asking for your medical history I was just passing around the nuts. Trying to be friendly that's all.

Mammograms are really sort of a gift. You can either catch something early or count your lucky stars because nothing was discovered. Either way you're ahead of the game.

There's something about marriage that is not as intensely romantic or interesting as a couple's first meeting.

I've never really been very good at marriage. It's one of my failures. I've tried my best but I do realise the common denominator is me it's something I'm doing.

I thought marriage was something very quiet and very regular and very bourgeois.
