life husband home
I think the best thing I can do is to be a distraction. A husband lives and breathes his work all day long. If he comes home to more table thumping, how can the poor man ever relax?

I am a woman above everything else.
mother wife lovely
I'll be a wife and mother first, then First Lady.

I don't understand it. Jack will spend any amount of money to buy votes but he balks at investing a thousand dollars in a beautiful painting.

It looks like it's been furnished by discount stores.
horse want telephones
The one thing I do not want to be called is First Lady. It sounds like a saddle horse. Would you notify the telephone operators and everyone else that I'm to be known simply as Mrs. Kennedy and not as First Lady.

The greatest responsibility is your children. If my children turned out badly, I'd feel that nothing I had done was worthwhile.

Love of books is the best of all.
funny party humorous
You have to have been a Republican to know how good it is to be a Democrat.

Whenever I was upset by something in the papers, Jack always told me to be more tolerant, like a horse flicking away flies in the summer.

A camel makes an elephant feel like a jet plane.

An Editor becomes kind of your mother. You expect love and encouragement from an Editor.

I always wanted to be some kind of writer or newspaper reporter. But after college... I did other things.
inspirational family children
The children have been a wonderful gift to me, and I'm thankful to have once again seen our world through their eyes. They restore my faith in the family's future.
