“Papa Don’t Preach”

We are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars.

An image can convince you of anything.

I’d like to walk around in your mind someday.

Best not to know what’s waiting around the corner.

Life is a battle so we dance.

The world is hard because people are soft.

Pride is the devil.

Not everyone is coming to the future.

I always thought I should be treated like a star.

My heart is full of love but please don’t get in my way.

I’m tough, I’m ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay.

I know what I am and I know what I am not.

I laugh at myself.

It doesn’t matter what it looked like. What matters is the truth.

Don’t just stand there let’s get to it. Strike a pose, there’s nothing to it.

Super Moon had me feeling some type of way.

The Heavenly Father does not ask for golden vessels. He does not ask for silver vessels. God asks for yielded vessels.

Fathers and mothers, do not forget that children learn more by the eye than they do by the ear… Imitation is a far stronger principle with children than memory. What they see has a much stronger effect on their minds than what they are told.

I know my father and my mother, but beyond that I cannot go. My ancestry is blurred.

Craving clarity, we attempt to eliminate the risk of trusting God. Fear of the unknown path stretching ahead of us destroys childlike trust in the Father’s active goodness and unrestricted love.

Wild animals would not stay in a country where there were so many people. Pa did not like to stay, either. He liked a country where the wild animals lived without being afraid.

Therefore run together as into one temple of God, as to one altar, as to one Jesus Christ, who came forth from one Father, and is with and has gone to one.

A man knows when he is growing old because he begins to look like his father.

My dad raised me with some good advice: ‘Always tell the truth. Always shoot from the hip. You might not have many friends, but you’ll never have enemies, because people will always know where you’re coming from.’
