“No one can take the place of a friend, no one.”

Love is like a virus. It can happen to anybody at any time.

I believe that the most important single thing, beyond discipline and creativity is daring to dare.

What you’re supposed to do when you don’t like a thing is change it. If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it. Don’t complain.

If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.

Love life. Engage in it. Give it all you’ve got. Love it with a passion because life truly does give back, many times over, what you put into it.

Stepping onto a brand-new path is difficult, but not more difficult than remaining in a situation, which is not nurturing to the whole woman.

When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed.

Hoping for the best, prepared for the worst, and unsurprised by anything in between.

I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better.

Making a decision to write was a lot like deciding to jump into a frozen lake.

You may shoot me with your words, you may cut me with your eyes, you may kill me with your hatefulness, but still, like air, I’ll rise!

Poetry puts starch in your backbone so you can stand, so you can compose your life.

Life is going to give you just what you put in it. Put your whole heart in everything you do, and pray, then you can wait.

It is this belief in a power larger than myself and other than myself which allows me to venture into the unknown and even the unknowable.

Living well is an art that can be developed: a love of life and ability to take great pleasure from small offerings and assurance that the world owes you nothing and that every gift is exactly that, a gift.

Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances.

I have made some of the best friends that I’ve got in this business.

Start believing that life is perfect, and time is life’s best friend.

Flowers and diamonds are a woman’s best friend.

Gentleman is the best friend of patience.

Best friends are pure luxury.

It’s always good to marry your best friend.

The only reason why I can do what I do at the highest level both on and off the floor is my because my best friend got my back regardless the outcome!

Sometimes your best friend just might be the person you don’t want to be around at all.
