To us, family means putting your arms around each other and being there.
Never lose sight of the fact that the most important yardstick of your success will be how you treat other people - your family, friends, and coworkers, and even strangers you meet along the way.
I think togetherness is a very important ingredient to family life.
Cherish your human connections - your relationships with friends and family.
At the end of your life, you will never regret not having passed one more test, not winning one more verdict or not closing one more deal. You will regret time not spent with a husband, a friend, a child, or a parent.
Family and friends and faith are the most important things in your life and you should be building friendships.
If human beings are perceived as potentials rather than problems, as possessing strengths instead of weaknesses, as unlimited rather that dull and unresponsive, then they thrive and grow to their capabilities.
Believe in something larger than yourself... get involved in the big ideas of your time.

And who knows? Somewhere out there in this audience may even be someone who will one day follow my footsteps, and preside over the White House as the president's spouse. I wish him well!

Everything I worry about would be better if more people could read, write and comprehend.
Bias has to be taught. If you hear your parents downgrading women or people of different backgrounds, why, you are going to do that.
