Life's not about sitting at home in front of the TV waiting for your life to begin. Get out there and take some chances.

Look at people for an example, but then make sure to do things your way. Surround yourself with positive people.

You have to stand for what you believe in and sometimes you have to stand alone.

Life is so much bigger, grander, higher, and wider than we allow ourselves to think.

I decided early on that I was going to put on my crown and rule my world by acting right and treating myself like a queen.

I don’t want to be a supermodel; I want to be a role model.

My mom will make me walk the dogs or take out the trash when I go home.

Every woman is a queen, and we all have different things to offer.

No one ever got ahead by going through the motions. You have to constantly be improving yourself. Make your life the masterpiece you want it to be.

I really don't know how to be anyone else, and whenever I try to be anyone else, I fail miserably. Or I disappoint myself. It doesn't build my self-esteem, and it doesn't help me grow me at all.

I trust that everything happens for a reason, even if we are not wise enough to see it.

Jesus is too colossal for the pen of phrasemongers, however artful. No man can dispose of Christianity with a bon mot

There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate The Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be.

Egotism is true modesty. In religious enquiry each of us can speak only for himself.

I wanted my players to always be searching, especially for truth. I wanted them to know what they believed and be able to defend it. Truth will always stand the test of scrutiny.

Sunblock! I don't like to tan my face because it's bad for wrinkles.

Let me tell you, that's what taxation is - it's confiscation. It's your money, it's not the government's money. But the government makes you think that it all comes from them.

We have to try to cure our faults by attention and not by will.

Part of life is learning what to be ashamed of and what to be proud of.

I've always said I can't tell sometimes that people even have an album out until I see them nominated for a Grammy. I think country gets dumped on across the board by the Grammys.
