Barbara Bush
I'm not saying to be happy you must be married. Nor am I saying that to be happy you need children. I'm saying that if you opt for children - be you man or woman - you have to take care of them.
Barbara Bush
People who worry about their hair all the time, frankly, are boring.
Barbara Bush
