"I think my children know that Mother's priority is to be with them first. But I don't think it has to be an either/or situation. Work is very important to me, and it wouldn't be in the best interest of my children for me to stay home seven days a week."
"Any woman who understands the problems of running a home will be nearer to understanding the problems of running a country."
Margaret Thatcher on Home"A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body."
Benjamin Franklin on Home"Where we love is home - home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts."
Oliver Wendell Holmes on Home"Human beings are the only creatures on earth that allow their children to come back home."
Bill Cosby on Home"Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in."
Robert Frost on Home"Your 40s are a major trough. About the age of 50, feelings of satisfaction begin to rebound and keep rising into your 50s, 60s and 70s, with health being a major factor."
"I came back to work when my children were two months old. At that early age, they seem to have little awareness of anybody but their Raggedy Ann dolls, so it wasn't a matter of them missing me. I was missing them."
"About the time I turned 50, I experienced the profound biological change that often accompanies women at that age. Also, I put two kids in college and lost both of my parents, so I'm no longer somebody's daughter."
"My father was so good-natured and had such a happy disposition. I've always confused him with Jimmy Stewart. So, think Jimmy Stewart. That's my dad."
"I envy people with dreams and passions, but I don't think that way. I still don't have a 'bliss' to follow. For people like me - I suspect that's most people - holding out for a 'dream' or a 'passion' is paralyzing. I just like having work I enjoy that feels meaningful. That's hard enough... but it's enough."
