I never married because there was no need. I have three pets at home which answer the same purpose as a husband. I have a dog which growls every morning a parrot which swears all afternoon and a cat that comes home late at night.

The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ came to do three things. He came to have my past forgiven you get a purpose for living and a home in Heaven.

In my view far from deserving condemnation for their courageous reporting the New York Times the Washington Post and other newspapers should be commended for serving the purpose that the Founding Fathers saw so clearly.

But I don't want to be out there anymore I don't want people asking me about my health issues about my kids. I choose not to be a public paparazzi girl on purpose.

I can support co-ops if they want to do it as we've known co-ops in America for 150 years - where they serve the purposes of the consuming public whether it's health care or whether it's co-ops as we know them in the Midwest providing electricity or to sell supplies to farmer.

The ultimate purpose of religious life is to make this evolution move in a direction far more important to the destiny of the ego than the moral health of the social fabric which forms his present environment.

I don't know why my smile has become a signature pose. I think it's a nice change. I think people want to see happiness so a smile is what can bring that. I didn't make it my trademark on purpose.

The only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose.

You do the right thing even if it makes you feel bad. The purpose of life is not to be happy but to be worthy of happiness.

It is the paradox of life that the way to miss pleasure is to seek it first. The very first condition of lasting happiness is that a life should be full of purpose aiming at something outside self.
