I come here tonight as a sister, blessed with a brother who is my mentor, my protector and my lifelong friend. And I come here as a wife who loves my husband and believes he will be an extraordinary president.

Actually, I hear a lot of rock music. My husband is a big rock fan.

While I believed deeply in my husband’s vision for this country… and I was certain he would make an extraordinary President… like any mother, I was worried about what it would mean for our girls if he got that chance. How would we keep them grounded under the glare of the national spotlight?

I was raised in a religious environment, and my wife is one of the more religious people that I have ever known.

Because my dad abused me, I was determined to never let a man tell me what to do. God clearly showed me that I needed to be a submissive wife if I wanted to be effective in ministry. The truth is, if we don’t learn to submit to authority, we won’t ever learn to submit to God.

I give unto my wife my second best bed with the furniture.

I was raised by strong women, and that DNA is in my daughter and wife.

Abe Foxman has been a friend and advisor of mine for a long time.

I’m married. My wife, Stella – a beautiful woman. She’s brought a lot of peace to my life, a lot of wisdom.

I can tell you, honest friend, what to believe: believe life; it teaches better that book or orator.

Everyone needs a coach. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a basketball player, a tennis player, a gymnast or a bridge player.

My husband calls me ‚catfish.‘ He says I’m all mouth and no brains.

I worked with Lawrence Olivier some years ago. He was a great mentor.

This character feels so much like my brother. He has two children. He has a wife. He works with me. He chooses to stay in New Hampshire because he wants his kids to grow up in the school they started with. He doesn’t want them to lose friends. He is his family’s hero.

Behind every successful man is a woman, behind her is his wife.

Caesar’s wife must be above suspicion.

If people think nature is their friend, then they sure don’t need an enemy.

My brother was a lifeguard in a car wash.

I think a role model is a mentor – someone you see on a daily basis, and you learn from them.

My wife has about everything I can think of.

A man is in general better pleased when he has a good dinner upon his table, than when his wife talks Greek.

Look at market fluctuations as your friend rather than your enemy; profit from folly rather than participate in it.

I cannot say for certain if there is such a thing as love at first sight, but I do know that the moment I first glimpsed Winnie Nomzamo, I knew that I wanted to have her as my wife.

I wanted to tell the story of Luong Ung, who’s a dear friend of mine.

That’s what a man wants in a wife, mostly; he wants to make sure one fool tells him he’s wise.

In criticism I will be bold, and as sternly, absolutely just with friend and foe. From this purpose nothing shall turn me.

I know I’m talented, but I wasn’t put here to sing. I was put here to be a wife and a mom and look after my family. I love what I do, but it’s not where it begins and ends.

Only two things are necessary to keep one’s wife happy. One is to let her think she is having her own way, and the other is to let her have it.

My husband is everything to me and without him it’s just not the same.

When I’m home, I spend Sunday with my husband. If we’re not cooking, we travel around in our camper, stop at fast-food restaurants, and picnic. We love that stuff that will harden your arteries in a hurry.

My wife used to be an anchorwoman in Arizona, so she knew John McCain, and she liked him, and I kinda liked him.

The African is my brother but he is my younger brother by several centuries.

Friend, there’s no greater investment in life than in being a people builder. Relationships are more important than our accomplishments.

My wife, a schoolteacher, very disciplined. If you think I’m tough, trust me, and wait till you see when the children are on the naughty step. It’s hilarious. So we decided that I’m going to work like a donkey and provide amazing support for the family.

I think I have had so much blessing – I’ve had my brother, who was brilliant – I think my family came closest to making a genius when they made my brother – Bailey was just all of that. He loved me.

Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.

Whenever a husband and wife begin to discuss their marriage they are giving evidence at a coroner’s inquest.

Being a good husband is like being a good stand-up comic – you need ten years before you can even call yourself a beginner.

One of my mentors schooled me on branding before it was a cliche term in the game.

My brother Bob doesn’t want to be in government – he promised Dad he’d go straight.

Next to my husband, and along with Marlon Brando, I think that Yves Montand is the most attractive man I’ve ever met.

Ours is one continued struggle against degradation sought to be inflicted upon us by the European, who desire to degrade us to the level of the raw Kaffir, whose occupation is hunting and whose sole ambition is to collect a certain number of cattle to buy a wife with, and then pass his life in indolence and nakedness.

A good wife is one who serves her husband in the morning like a mother does, loves him in the day like a sister does and pleases him like a prostitute in the night.

The husband who decides to surprise his wife is often very much surprised himself.

People shop for a bathing suit with more care than they do a husband or wife. The rules are the same. Look for something you’ll feel comfortable wearing. Allow for room to grow.

I believe in Coach Louis Wong. He is so much more than just a football coach.

The good man is the friend of all living things.

My friend has a baby. I’m recording all the noises he makes so later I can ask him what he meant.

Chaos is a friend of mine.

The second time around, I’ll understand that, as a husband, my wife doesn’t care about my opinions. I just need to tell her the things that will continue to help me stack the brownie points.
