I naturally wanted to be saved so when I came home I told my mom I wanted to be confirmed. That's the way I related to it being raised an Episcopalian. I went to Dallas and got confirmed.

I was a single mom that raised two bright beautiful and compassionate girls.

I care so passionately about improving the quality of life for women and girls not just here in the United States but internationally as well. I am a single mom and I raised a daughter who is now a young adult.

I was raised in Boston by three older brothers and a very strong and empowering single mom.

This is the place where anybody - like an African American kid raised by a single mom - can be president.

Well you know I was raised by a 1970s feminist. My mom had a consciousness-raising group. I used to sit at the top of the stairs and listen to them.

President Obama's fight for rural America is personal. He was raised by a single mom and grandparents from Kansas. He hails from a farming state Illinois.

People always accuse me of being motivational in a way like it was a bad thing but that's just how I was raised. My mom raised me in a positive environment with lots of love in my heart and that reflects in my music.

My sisters and mom raised me to respect women and open doors for them.

The wish to acquire more is admittedly a very natural and common thing and when men succeed in this they are always praised rather than condemned. But when they lack the ability to do so and yet want to acquire more at all costs they deserve condemnation for their mistakes.
