I said tonight I wanted to talk to you about love. Look into your hearts. This is our country. This is our future. These are our children and grandchildren. You can trust Mitt.
Ann Romney -
Multiple Sclerosis is obviously close to my heart and I'm determined to make a difference in the lives of people who suffer from the disease by raising the profile of MS, as well as raising funds for advocacy and research.

-
I made a choice to stay home and raise five boys. Believe me, it was hard work.
Ann Romney -
There are certain things that don't mix well with MS. One is staying up late at night. Another is big, noisy crowds. Well, campaigns are staying up late at night and big noisy crowds.
Ann Romney -
Everywhere I go people come up to me, they mob me - anyone who has MS or has a relative with MS - they come up and hug and cry.
Ann Romney -
I think we recognize as Americans there are certain things that are just primary to the freedoms and liberties that we enjoy here and religious freedom is one of the most important things we as Americans cherish.
Ann Romney -
I'd sit on a horse and forget I was even sick.
Ann Romney -
There is huge merit in both Eastern and Western medicine, and I've taken a little bit from both.
Ann Romney
-
You just deal with the cards that are dealt you and you just go on and push forward.
Ann Romney -
In marriage, it's always that give and take and rebalancing that we have to do in how we can help each other. But, I have been known at times by my sons, that is the name that they call me-the Mitt stabilizer.
Ann Romney -
It may look perfect, but that's one thing I have learned about life is that it isn't always what it looks.
Ann Romney -
I read somewhere that Mitt and I have a 'storybook marriage.' Well, in the storybooks I read, there were never long, long, rainy winter afternoons in a house with five boys screaming at once. And those storybooks never seemed to have chapters called MS or breast cancer.
Ann Romney -
I do recognize the most valuable work being done across the country is that work being done inside the four walls in our homes. And let us not forget how important the work of the mother and father are to raising responsible citizens.
Ann Romney -
When you're used to being healthy and strong and vibrant and everything and then - bang - overnight you're desperately ill, it's frightening.
Ann Romney
-
The greatest advantage of being First Lady is the opportunity it presents to truly make a difference on issues of great importance.
Ann Romney -
The thing that's nice about pregnancy is that in the end, you have a baby.
Ann Romney -
Well you know, I think a lot of us in marriage know that you play different roles at different times. And Mitt can get very intense, and I can have the ability to kind of talk him off the rails sometimes and say, 'Hey let's look at what is really important and let's do that now.'
Ann Romney -
That's why I like to get out there, and get people to see the other side of Mitt, and know us in a different reflection when you see the family and how funny he is with the boys and with the grandkids. And you know, just what a super guy he is. That's part of what I am doing, is letting people see the other side of Mitt.
Ann Romney -
It's the moms of this nation - single, married, widowed - who really hold this country together. We're the mothers, we're the wives, we're the grandmothers, we're the big sisters, we're the little sisters, we're the daughters. You know it's true, don't you? You're the ones who always have to do a little more.
Ann Romney -
My kids don't drink and don't smoke. For me, that's a great blessing.
Ann Romney
-
I know what it's like to struggle and to have those concerns that all mothers have.
Ann Romney -
It's the moms who always have to work a little harder, to make everything right.
Ann Romney -
When I was so fatigued that I couldn't move, the excitement of going to the barn and getting my foot in the stirrup would make me crawl out of bed.
Ann Romney -
It's been quite an experience, being conservative and living in the North East.
