I'm a recovering lawyer. The practice of law has changed. Every agreement is a fight.
Elizabeth Edwards
You know, everybody knows some of what politicians say is malarkey, and having somebody there to call them on it is good. I'd be happy to do that any time and any place.
Elizabeth Edwards
I've often said that the most important thing you can give your children is wings. Because, you're not gonna always be able to bring food to the nest. You're... sometimes... they're gonna have to be able to fly by themselves.
