1.「任何男人都能欣賞美麗的女性,但只有真正的紳士,能賦予他的女人更多魅力,並得到尊敬。」

2.「別看他的存款或頭銜,看他如何對待他的母親,如何評論女性,如何與孩子相處;最重要的是,他如何對待你?你應該和一個讓你全然快樂,覺得自己值得的人在一起。如果你無法百分之百確定,別走入婚姻。」
“Don’t look at the bankbook or the title. Look at how the guy treats his mother and what he says about women. How he acts with children he doesn’t know. And, more important, how does he treat you? You shouldn’t be in a relationship with somebody who doesn’t make you completely happy and make you feel whole. And if you’re in that relationship and you’re dating, then my advice is, don’t get married.”
3.「時間的淬煉,生命中的愛、犧牲,還有掙扎,都將使你成為內心強大的人。」
“Time and love and sacrifice and struggles make you stronger.”
4.「幸福的婚姻,需要雙方共同經營;若是只有一方付出,這段感情將難以維持下去。」
“One spouse cannot build a marriage alone when the other spouse is committed to destroying it. Marriage works when both husband and wife work together as a team to build their marriage.”
5.「保持對知識的渴望,那將會是開啟你未來的鑰匙。」
“I want you to be that hungry to get your education. It is going to be the key to your future.”
6.「教育非常重要。如果我在你們的年紀每天只是在意哪個男生喜不喜歡我,我就不會嫁給美國總統。」
“There is no boy who is cute enough or interesting enough to stop you from getting your education. If I worried about who liked me and who thought I was cute at your age, I wouldn’t be married to the President of the United States.”
7.「一個地方的興盛與衰弱,差別在於他們是否重視女性的價值。」
“The difference between a broken community and a thriving one is the presence of women who are valued.”
8.「你必須非常、非常喜歡並尊重與你共度一生的人,因為婚姻並不是一條輕鬆的路。你們將經歷許多高地起伏,但重要的是能夠在一天結束後仍能看進對方的眼睛,對他說一句『我喜歡你』。
“It has to be a true partnership, and you have to really, really like and respect the person you’re married to because it is a hard road. I mean that’s a recipe made for disaster, so there are highs and lows. But if in the end you can look him in the eye and say, ’I like you.‘”
9.「不要畏懼失敗,因為失敗將使你成長,並造就你的應變能力。」
“Failure is an important part of your growth and developing resilience. Don’t be afraid of fail.”
10.「真正有本事的男人,不需要貶低女性,來凸顯自己的能力。」
“Strong men, men who are truly role models, don’t need to put down women to make themselves feel powerful.”
11.「追求自己真正想要的事,因為總會有人站在反對的一邊。」
“Just do what works for you, because there will always be someone who thinks differently.”
12.「你的行為和價值觀或多或少都是在他人的影響之下建立的。慎選朋友,他們可能會幫助你婚姻關係的成長,或成為毀滅婚姻的關鍵。」
“The people you surround yourself with have a lot of influence on your marriage. Friends can build or break your marriage; choose them wisely.”
13.「不要低估自己的能力,勇於和男性競爭,別怕打敗他們!」
“Compete with the boys, beat the boys, because you all are capable.”
14.「當女性接受完善的教育,國家將變得愈發達及強大。」
“When girls are educated, their countries become stronger and more prosperous.”
15.「我們的格言是,當別人往道德的低處走,我們更要保持高尚態度前行。」
“Our motto is , when they go low, we go high.”
