My mother and my grandmother are pioneers of Mexican cuisine in this country so I grew up in the kitchen. My mom Zarela Martinez was by far my biggest influence and inspiration - and toughest critic.

To this day my mom's unsinkable spirit is an inspiration to me. For nearly thirty years she's worked at the Library of Congress. Everyone knows Sameha simply as 'Sami.' Along with 500 miles of shelved books her closest friendships are cataloged in that library. They are as much the value of work to my mom as is the work itself.

I am excited to rise today to support National Mom and Pop Business Owners Day. This celebration honors the husband and wife business owner teams whose work helps drive the economy and fuel job growth.

I always wanted to be a young mom but generations of women have worked so hard so we can have a career and wait to have children. So I say carpe diem - take advantage of that.

A Romney-Ryan administration will protect and strengthen Medicare for my Mom's generation for my generation and for my kids and yours.

I loved raising my kids. I loved the process the dirt of it the tears of it the frustration of it Christmas Easter birthdays growth charts pediatrician appointments. I loved all of it.

When men sow the wind it is rational to expect that they will reap the whirlwind.

If women are supposed to be less rational and more emotional at the beginning of our menstrual cycle when the female hormone is at its lowest level then why isn't it logical to say that in those few days women behave the most like the way men behave all month long?

Though force can protect in emergency only justice fairness consideration and cooperation can finally lead men to the dawn of eternal peace.

The men who followed Him were unique in their generation. They turned the world upside down because their hearts had been turned right side up. The world has never been the same.

Men take only their needs into consideration - never their abilities.

There's no evidence whatsoever that men are more rational than women. Both sexes seem to be equally irrational.

When the sword is once drawn the passions of men observe no bounds of moderation.

If you want to give up the admiration of thousands of men for the distain of one go ahead get married.

The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation.

Medical physicists work in cooperation with doctors. A few medical physicists devote their time to research and teaching. A few get involved with administrative duties.

I do not believe that Congress or the Administration should prohibit the medical community from pursuing a promising avenue of research that may improve the lives of millions of Americans.

I have written two medical novels. I have never studied medicine never seen an operation.

When I told my doctor I couldn't afford an operation he offered to touch-up my X-rays.

To say I drank my way into marriage isn't much of an exaggeration and it's none at all to say I drank my way out of it.

Traditional marriage between a man and a woman has been a cornerstone of our society for generations. If we are going to change that it ought to be done by the will of the people.

I was glad to hear of that determination as I detest the practice of cousins marrying or any marriage between persons in which there can be traced the most distant relationship. I go for the improvement instead of the deterioration of our race.

The state's interest in marriage is stability. Generally speaking polygamy does not work for stability. Inherent in the whole polygamous movement is a deep and abiding misogyny and denigration of women. So polygamy is objectionable on lots of grounds.

I would like it to be known that I have decided not to marry Group Capt. Peter Townsend. Mindful of the church's teaching that Christian marriage is indissoluble and conscious of my duty to the Commonwealth I have resolved to put these considerations before any others.
