I crashed my boyfriend's birthday when I was 12 years old. He didn't invite me and so I showed up.

Positive market incentives operating in the public interest are too few and far between, and are also up against a seemingly never-ending expansion of perverse incentives and lobbying.

We all go through sad times, but I was brought up to be positive.

Sympathy is charming, but it does not make up for pain.

I was brought up to be sympathetic toward others.

Personally, I have detested Gordon Brown since the moment in 2001 when he tried to make cheap capital out of the Laura Spence affair; as his troubles have piled up, I have felt no sympathy for him at all.

It takes a lot of courage to face up to things you can't do because we feed ourselves so much denial.

If you could get up the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.

I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as spies, which, in truth, they are.

We occasionally stumble over the truth but most of us pick ourselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.

Stay on top of your finances. Don't leave that up to others.

I weighed 193 pounds and had three chins. I couldn't get up before 9 a.m. and never saw patients before 10. I decided to go on a diet.
