Rose Kennedy

"I tell myself that God gave my children many gifts - spirit, beauty, intelligence, the capacity to make friends and to inspire respect. There was only one gift he held back - length of life."

"I've had an exciting time; I married for love and got a little money along with it."

"It has been said that time heals all wounds. I don't agree. The wounds remain. Time - the mind, protecting its sanity - covers them with some scar tissue and the pain lessens, but it is never gone."

"Life isn't a matter of milestones, but of moments."

"Make sure you never, never argue at night. You just lose a good night's sleep, and you can't settle anything until morning anyway."

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

"Neither comprehension nor learning can take place in an atmosphere of anxiety."
