Become the kind of person who brightens a room just by entering it.

Love is when the other person's happiness is more important than your own.

When you can’t change the direction of the wind — adjust your sails

Hope is not a resting place but a starting point - a cactus, not a cushion

Every person that you meet knows something you don't; learn from them.

Life is slippery. Here, take my hand.

Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts.

If you're doing your best, you won't have any time to worry about failure.

Today, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine he sees all day.

Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye.

Never forget the three powerful resources you always have available to you: love, prayer, and forgiveness.

People live, and then they die, and as long as they do both things propertly, there's nothing much to regret.

Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb/I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from/Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer/It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.

I don't believe in talent. Talent doesn't exist.

I will not let somebody who traffics in bigotry and bullying become president of the United States.

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine I keep my eyes wide open all the time I keep the ends out for the tie that binds Because you're mine, I walk the line.

Human nature will find itself only when it fully realizes that to be human it has to cease to be beastly or brutal.

My friends who have babies can't do anything. You can't go out at night. Having a baby is like a DUI from the universe.

You are one of one. None before and none to come. That what makes you different, makes you beautiful.

I love to meet my fans, and after every show I usually hang out for a few hours, talking to my fans, signing autographs, and selling T-shirts.

I did not and do not think of the solidity-liquidity conundrum as a dichotomy; I view those two conditions as a couple locked, inseparably, in a dialectical bond.
