I wanted to be an astronaut and wanted to go to space camp but then I found out that I was too short to become an astronaut. My mom really made me believe that if I worked hard enough and if I really wanted to do it I could do it.

My mom is always telling me it takes a long time to get to the top but a short time to get to the bottom.

The story of the human race is the story of men and women selling themselves short.

It might be pardonable to refuse to defend some men but to defend them negligently is nothing short of criminal.

I don't believe medical discoveries are doing much to advance human life. As fast as we create ways to extend it we are inventing ways to shorten it.

I have four strikes against me. I'm black I'm short I'm intelligent and I have a medical condition.

My father and mother were second cousins though they did not meet till shortly before their marriage.

The very idea of marriage is basic to recognition as equals in our society any status short of that is inferior unjust and unconstitutional.

My marriage had been impulsive. That marriage should have been short-lived instead of the 23 years it spanned.

A happy marriage is a long conversation which always seems too short.
