The best money advice ever given me was from my father. When I was a little girl he told me 'Don't spend anything unless you have to.'

As a little girl I used to daydream about my real father coming on a white horse to rescue me.

Feels good to try but playing a father I'm getting a little older. I see now that I'm taking it more serious and I do want that lifestyle.

A father is always making his baby into a little woman. And when she is a woman he turns her back again.

If I am to be known for anything I would like it to be for encouraging Canadians for knowing a little bit about their daily extraordinary courage. And for wanting that courage to be recognized.

Let who will boast their courage in the field I find but little safety from my shield Nature's not honour's law we must obey: This made me cast my useless shield away.

As the first Hispanic female governor in history little girls often come up to me in the grocery store or the mall. They look and point and when they get the courage they ask 'Are you Susana?' and they run up and give me a hug.

There's only one requirement of any of us and that is to be courageous. Because courage as you might know defines all other human behavior. And I believe - because I've done a little of this myself - pretending to be courageous is just as good as the real thing.

At the bottom of not a little of the bravery that appears in the world there lurks a miserable cowardice. Men will face powder and steel because they have not the courage to face public opinion.

The paradox of courage is that a man must be a little careless of his life even in order to keep it.
