Rose Kennedy

“Life isn't a matter of milestones, but of moments.”

“I am not going to be licked by tragedy, as life is a challenge, and we must carry on and work for the living as well as mourn for the dead.”

“I'm like old wine. They don't bring me out very often - but I'm well preserved.”

“I am just an old-fashioned girl.”

“In my life, I am often reminded that there is a destiny that rules over us, because no one whom I know about or whom I read about seems to be completely happy during a long time.”

“Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever sunlight remains to them?”

“It is selfish to concern oneself with tragedies.”

“I know not age, nor weariness nor defeat.”
