“As always, a million heartfelt thanks for bringing such joy into this chick’s life.”

If you find someone you love in your life, then hang on to that love.

I am always going to be true to myself.

I live for my sons. I would be lost without them.

I don’t go by the rule book. I lead from the heart, not the head.

I found myself being more and more involved with people who were rejected by society – with drug addicts, alcoholism, battered this, battered that – and I found an affinity there.

Whoever is in the distress can call me. I will come running wherever they are.

I wear my heart on my sleeve.

I should never have played with fire and I did. And I got very burned.

I’d like to be queen of people’s hearts.

I wish all the mothers, fathers and children out there realize how much I need them and how much I value their support.

I like to be a free spirit. Some don’t like that, but that’s the way I am.

I love to hold people’s hands when I visit hospitals, even though they are shocked because they haven’t experienced anything like it before, but to me it is a normal thing to do.

You can’t do anything good that you don’t feel in your heart.

The worse illness of our time, is that so many people have to suffer from never being loved.

From the first day I joined that family, nothing could be done naturally any more.

As for becoming queen, it was never on the forefront of my mind when I married my husband. It was a long way off, that thought.

Hearts can break and never make a sound.

Remember it is the heart and not the body, which strives to draw near to God. By heart I do not mean the flesh perceived by the senses, but that secret thing which is sometimes expressed by spirit, and sometimes by soul.

I will tear this folly from my heart, though every fibre bleed as I rend it away!

An envious heart makes a treacherous ear.

And deep in my heart. The answer, it was in me. And I made up my mind. To define my own destiny.

Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still.

Poetry is the first and last of all knowledge – it is as immortal as the heart of man.

Steady of heart and stout of hand.
