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.

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

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

Test a servant while in the discharge of his duty, a relative in difficulty, a friend in adversity, and a wife in misfortune.

My husband has quite simply been my strength and stay all these years, and I owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim.

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

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

My dear wife has, I would say, probably never opened a religious book, and seems to be one of those people to whom the whole idea is utterly remote and absurd.

The good man is the friend of all living things.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

My husband will tell you one of the most frequent questions he gets from world leaders is, ‚How’s your wife’s garden?‘

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

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

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

The fact that my 15 minutes of fame has extended a little longer than 15 minutes is somewhat surprising to me and completely baffling to my wife.

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

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

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.

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.

The typewriting machine, when played with expression, is no more annoying than the piano when played by a sister or near relation.

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

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

Richard Nixon was a criminally insane Monster – Bill Clinton is a black-hearted Swine of a friend.

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

My wife has about everything I can think of.

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

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

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

Jack Kerouac influenced me quite a bit as a writer… in the Arab sense that the enemy of my enemy was my friend.

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

Bill Gates has always been a mentor and inspiration for me even before I knew him. Just growing up, I admired how Microsoft was mission-focused.

My brother was a lifeguard in a car wash.

Caesar’s wife must be above suspicion.

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

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

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

Silence is a true friend who never betrays.

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

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

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

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

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.

Prosperity is the best protector of principle.

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

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

A friend of mine jokes that I have a painstaking royalty complex. Like maybe I was a duke in a past life.

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?

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.

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

This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector.

Nothing flatters a man as much as the happiness of his wife; he is always proud of himself as the source of it.

Strike an average between what a woman thinks of her husband a month before she marries him and what she thinks of him a year afterward, and you will have the truth about him.
