My philosophy is that you do what you have to do.

You can make the First Lady's job whatever you want it to be. To some women the job is more involved with the entertaining. They feel at home doing the things at home.

You must accept that you might fail; then, if you do your best and still don't win, at least you can be satisfied that you've tried. If you don't accept failure as a possibility, you don't set high goals, you don't branch out, you don't try - you don't take the risk.

Do what you can to show you care about other people, and you will make our world a better place.

It goes without saying that it's hard to attain a certain level of success.

Our soldiers deserve better. They need a plan for success. They need an administration that is honest about the costs of war, human and otherwise, and they need full accountability and oversight on Capitol Hill.

Finding good partners is the key to success in anything: in business, in marriage and, especially, in investing.

Critics can get you critical acclaim - nothing more than that. Success or failure depends on the public.
