“You are the only you. You are the best you. You will always be the second best anyone else.”

One does not fall “in” or “out” of love. One grows in love.

A life of love is one of continual growth, where the doors and windows of experience are always open to the wonder and magic that life offers. To love is to risk living fully.

Life is uncharted territory. It reveals its story one moment at a time.

You are a special combination for a purpose.

Success often lies just the other side of failure.

What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life.

Find the person who will love you because of your differences and not in spite of them and you have found a lover for life.

Love is always bestowed as a gift – freely, willingly and without expectation. We don’t love to be loved; we love to love.

Change. It has the power to uplift, to heal, to stimulate, surprise, open new doors, bring fresh experience and create excitement in life.

Your talent is God’s gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.

A total immersion in life offers the best classroom for learning to love.

Stop playing games. A growing relationship can only be nurtured by genuineness.

If I don’t have wisdom, I can teach you only ignorance.

Love can never grow old. Locks may lose their brown and gold. Cheeks may fade and hollow grow. But the hearts that love will know, never winter’s frost and chill, summer’s warmth is in them still.

Life is a paradise for those who love many things with a passion.

After all, the wrong is done. It is past and cannot be changed. We have only the present and the future upon which to move forward.

Wherever a dancer stands is holy ground.

Your heart has no reason to lie to you.

Do Something. If it works, do more of it. If it doesn’t, do something else.

Mean girls go far in high school. Kind women go far in LIFE.

When I lost hope, hope came and found me, when I stopped believing in faith, faith believed in me.

You must plan your work and then work your plan.

At the very worst, if I have a short-lived career, at least I could say I sparked a change – that I inspired some leniency in what people accept in hip-hop. And if I have a very long career and can be gyrating in a leotard at 35, that would be great.

When life knocks you down, you can choose to get back up.
