“People from the most horrendous of childhoods can have good lives, but...” — Laura Schlessinger Quote

People from the most horrendous of childhoods can have good lives, but it comes down to a very seemingly simple word. 'Choice.'

Research indicates that most women want their man to earn more than they do.

Don't worry so much about your self-esteem. Worry more about your character. Integrity is its own reward.

Men are very emotionally dependent upon women from the day they are born to the day they expire.

If you're that hypersensitive about color and don't have a sense of humor, don't marry out of your race.

I think the Mary J. Blige persona wouldn't lend itself to the big kid persona, but that's exactly who she is. She has such a serious life and childhood and then such a dramatic one, a successful R&B singer. But she's just stayed this kid for life and stuff.

Well, I would have much preferred to have had a normal childhood. I would have loved it if my greatest dilemma, at 14, was whether to go to Benetton for my pullovers. I would have preferred not to have cried all the tears I have cried.

I'm the kind of person you want to kill. I had an incredibly happy childhood. I married a terrific guy when I was 23. I have great, well-adjusted kids. Sometimes my husband and I look at each other and do a little jig in the kitchen. This is the best life.

My childhood memories are filled with hugs and kisses from both my mum and dad. My mum has a thing about kissing you an odd number of times: if she kisses you once, all good, but if she kisses you twice, then you know another one has to follow and, weirdly, she tends to go for the forehead.
