Quotes of the Day: Feisty First Ladies

Since today is President's Day, here in the U.S.,  I thought I would do a fitting post.  I was determined to focus in on fashionable first ladies, but I couldn't find images that I wanted so instead I have decided to share a few quotes from feisty first ladies!  A bit more fun anyway, I think.

"I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered.  But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue:  no good in a bed, but fine up against a wall."
