“Don’t let the man bring you down.”

We spend precious hours fearing the inevitable. It would be wise to use that time adoring our families, cherishing our friends and living our lives.

Make every effort to change things you do not like. If you cannot make a change, change the way you have been thinking. You might find a new solution.

Nothing will work unless you do.

The problem I have with haters is that they see my glory, but they don’t know my story.

If I am not good to myself, how can I expect anyone else to be good to me?

Most people don’t grow up. Most people age. They find parking spaces, honor their credit cards, get married, have children, and call that maturity. What that is, is aging.

Each person deserves a day away in which no problems are confronted, no solutions searched for.

Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.

When you learn, teach, when you get, give.

Surviving is important. Thriving is elegant.

Talent is like electricity. We don’t understand electricity. We use it.

In all the world, there is no heart for me like yours. In all the world, there is no love for you like mine.

If you find it in your heart to care for somebody else, you will have succeeded.

I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one.

Without courage we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can’t be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.

We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.

This fight hasn’t yet been won. So save your celebrations and congratulations and support women on the frontlines of society worldwide.

There’s always a glimmer in eyes that have been through the dark.

She won’t bend and break as you’d expect her to, she’s a solid form of bravery and fearlessness and that can’t be undone.

I love the woman I have become today. The one who breathes fire and douse it all at the same time.

Don’t let anyone tell you, you are weak for being a woman.

She had many phases and each was as unique than the other.

Never stop your girl from fulfilling her dreams, identify her hidden wings and let her fly.

Somedays she knows love other days, heartache but each day she is strong.
