PATRICIA SCHROEDER

Nobody ever says to men, how can you be a Congressman and a father.

Registration is a World War II response, and we need a 1980 solution.

I learned a lot about America and a lot about Pat Schroeder, and that's why I will not be a candidate for President.

When people ask me why I am running as a woman, I always answer, 'What choice do I have?'

A draft doesn't produce the people we need to satisfy our real manpower shortage. We need specialists to keep our jets flying.

I have a brain and a uterus and I use both.

If the search engines don't respect the creators, there won't be anything to search in the future because creators have to make a living too.

I could not find any way that we could really run the kind of campaign I wanted to run if we were targeting delegates and still trying to talk to people, which is what keeps me going as a human being.

Many women have more power than they recognize, and they're very hesitant to use it, for they fear they won't be loved.

When it comes to college education, American families are paying more and getting less.

Spine transplants are what we really need to take Reagan on.

One of the problems in the Navy is that tradition of being captain of the ship. And an awful lot of people can be retired in the Navy, get over it, get a life, and go on. But there's a lot who can't. And when they have to give up the ship, they got to be captain of something, every single day.

The Pledge of Allegiance says, 'liberty and justice for all'.

The mood of the 80s - Get what you can, can what you get, and sit on the can.

The only study that the federal government has engaged in with a vengeance is in trying to see if they can make women fertile after menopause.

We're going through the Olympics. We're watching women working as teams. We're watching men working as teams. We're watching all working as teams. We're proud of men and women getting medals. That's how the Navy should be working.

Lobbying is a legitimate profession... Many congressional spouses act as lobbyists.

Traditional copyright has been that you can't make a full copy of somebody's work without their permission.

You measure a government by how few people need help.

When men talk about defense, they always claim to be protecting women and children, but they never ask the women and children what they think.

Mr. Chairman, do we have to call the gentleman ‘the gentleman’ as he is not one?

I was 55 and I realized that if I didn’t leave Congress then, I would have to stay there [till retirement]. I would not be able to do anything else. I left when I still could…. Besides. Congress had become like a Junior High School Lunchroom throwing food at each other.
