I think there is something lovely when a woman looks well.

I think there are several questions that arise from it. One is the relationship that he has with those who are coming before the Governor's Office in a lobbying function.

That poses a problem.

She said, 'You speak the truth and you answer to nobody.' And that was the kind of woman she was. She made it very clear. She believed in what she did and gave her life for it.

Red gives one energy, so the combination of the red and brown in this dress is giving Sarah the energy to keep her busy schedule. It's also nurturing and supporting, so she doesn't get off balance. While we could say that it is a color we don't normally find young celebrities wearing, it could be a very wise and wonderful choice for a young woman in a crazy business who is looking to be centered and secure.

Relationships are ongoing negotiations. The usual basic dynamic is that the man offers security - emotionally and financially - while the woman nurtures.

My son's the same, he's terribly funny. It's a wonderful power to have. It's also fantastically disarming. Women find it unbelievably disarming. You can say the most astonishing things if you're funny. You can tell a woman that she's irresistibly attractive, but do it in such a funny way.

My vote will never go to commit any young man or woman to such a field until I personally am confident they have a chance of succeeding and a high degree of personal safety. It's a commitment to their parents and I hold it deep in my heart,

The angel of the Family is Woman. Mother, wife, or sister, Woman is the caress of life, the soothing sweetness of affection shed over its toils, a reflection for the individual of the loving providence which watches over Humanity.

The mother's first kiss teaches the child love; the first holy kiss of the woman he loves teaches man hope and faith in life; and love and faith create a desire for perfection and the power of reaching towards it step by step; create the future, in short, of which the living symbol is the child, link between us and the generations to come. Through her the Family, with its divine mystery of reproduction, points to Eternity.

Wendy was a smart, kind, warm, funny, talented, generous, successful woman - that we all know. But perhaps we didn't know was how deeply, profoundly, universally loved she was.

When you're the one character that changes dramatically in the movie ... it better be a change for the better. I think it's an improvement on the past. It's a more likely relationship.

We have a gentleman who does nothing but special writing. Those are the letters that require original language tailored to the author. We have a woman who does nothing but children's letters. She's learned to write like a child, in the voice of a governor, and they send him the neatest things.
