“When things go wrong, don’t go with them.”

If you cry when you’re in love, it sure ain’t no disgrace.

I don’t know anything about music. In my line you don’t have to.

I feel so alone sometimes. The night is quiet for me.

During our dark times, we may see the challenge in every opportunity. But we often forget that there is success hiding behind every challenge.

You pray for rain, you gotta deal with the mud too. That’s a part of it.

Life is a rhythm of highs and lows.

Rainy days only give birth to more flowers.
