“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.”

Such minor changes, such huge consequences.

To be honest. That’s what matters.

With every falling flake, a unique spark of interest falls from heaven.

Fight for what makes you move on. Accept what you can not change. And part with what pulls you down.

Beauty starts in your head, not in your mirror.

They don’t know what it means to have million dollar dreams.

Be careful not to choke on your aspirations.

Beat the odds they don’t wanna see you greater.

Flowers are the best way to express one’s love and affection to a woman.

Never needed acceptance from all you outsiders.

Real elegance is everywhere especially in the things that don’t show.

Confidence is the best thing a woman can have. It’s much sexier than any body part.

It is like it is. But it will be what you make of it.

The most beautiful stories begin with courage.

Be brave enough to change.

Pink makes me happy when I’m blue.

Losing doesn’t make me want to quit. It makes me want to fight that much harder.

The time is long overdue to encourage more women to dream the possible dream.

Women have made tons of progress. But we still have a small percentage of the top jobs in any industry, in any nation in the world. I think that’s partly because from a very young age, we encourage our boys to lead and we call our girls bossy.

I know what it takes to win. If I can sell them on what it takes to win, then we are not going to lose too many football games.

The amazing thing about love and attention and encouragement and grace and success and joy is that these things are infinite. We get a new supply every single morning, and so we can give it away all day. We never, ever have to monitor the supply of others or grab or hoard.

We can’t encourage narrow mindedness, for no nation can be great whose people are narrow in thought.

What contributed to my writing early on is how my mom encouraged it. She kept the TV off because she wanted my siblings and I to be engaged and active. So we made forts, put on plays, musicals, and I wrote like crazy.

If wanting to win is a fault, as some of my critics seem to insist, then I plead guilty. I like to win. I know no other way. It’s in my blood.
