“I have come to the conclusion that the most important element in human...” — Rose Kennedy Quote

I have come to the conclusion that the most important element in human life is faith.

Now I am in my eighties, and I have known the joys and sorrows of a full life. Age, however, has its privileges. One is to reminisce, and another is to reminisce selectively.

My husband changed jobs so fast that I simply never knew what business he was in.

Modern candidates seem to have to live with political matters all the time. In my father's time, a politician's home was still his castle.

My father had extravagant notions of my beauty, grace, wit, and charm.

We like people who come to our gigs to dress sharp and to impress.

When you dominate other people's emotions, the time has to come when you will have to pay, and heavily, for that privilege.

With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come.

And it's a human need to be told stories. The more we're governed by idiots and have no control over our destinies, the more we need to tell stories to each other about who we are, why we are, where we come from, and what might be possible.

All of my misfortunes come from having thought too well of my fellows.
