Mother Quotes

My mother had heard all about miniskirts but had never seen one so I took her for lunch at Alvaro's [in Chelsea].

And she said: 'If it's not for sale, you shouldn't put it in the window!'

When I took my oath of office to serve as your Governor, remember, I swore to steadfastly and doggedly guard the interests of this great state like a grizzly with cubs, as a mother naturally guards her own. Alaska, as a statewide family, we've got to fight for each other, not against and not let external, sensationalized distractions draw us off course. As an exciting year of unpredictable change begins, we, too, have our work cut out for us. And we're all in this together. Just like our musk ox, they circle up to protect their future when they are challenged. We've got to do the same.
Sarah Palin
