What the mind don't 'member, the heart still know. Love, the strongest thang of all.

We've been stitched together at the heart since she was born. I can't breathe in a world where she isn't near.

Even the ramparts of reputation, and ambition, and social position couldn't erase the love of sisters, their bond with one another.

The love of sisters needs no words. It does not depend on memories, or mementos, or proof. It runs as deep as a heartbeat. It is as ever present as a pulse.

I don't want someone who's just with me until things get a little too difficult, or something better comes along, or marriage isn't as much fun as it used to be. I want the real thing-for better or worse, rich, poor, sickness, health, forever and ever, amen.

No matter how much you want to cut your family out of your heart, you can't. The bond is born when you are born, like an organ in your body. There is no surgery to remove it. When it is diseased, you live with a dull ache telling you that something inside you is not right.

You only have to have two loves in your life: for God, and for the person in front of you at any particular time.

You have given me a great responsibility—to stay close to you, to be worthy of you, and to exemplify what you are. Let us create together a new national spirit of unity and trust. Your strength can compensate for my weakness, and your wisdom can help to minimize my mistakes.

It's really all about family, love and the children for me. I work at that every day.

Marriage is the hardest work you're ever going to do.

Determine that there will never be anything that will come between you that will disrupt your marriage. Make it work. Resolve to make it work.

Marriage is not easy. You have to decide to work. That's what it really comes down to: two people deciding to stay together or not.
