My birth was a blessing. Sent to live and die on Earth; it's a blessing. We each have a star; all you have to do is find it. Once you do, everyone sees it, you won't be blinded.

The snake, the rat, the cat, the dog... How you gonna see 'em if you livin' in the fog?

I just find myself happy with the simple things. Appreciating the blessings God gave me.

Don't believe everything you hear, don't believe everything you read and only believe half of what you see

The curse turned to grace when the hurt turned to faith.

Right, wrong, good, bad, heaven, hell. I think that is the theme of my life. I think you have to know both in order to honestly choose one. So I'm familiar with both sides of the fence.

Never become so involved with something that it blinds you. Never forget where you from; someone will remind you.

If your heart was as big as your mouth you'd be real.

Be careful of the ones that always wanna get you high, cause when the time comes, that one'll let you die.

The minute you get too big to mop a floor or wipe a counter, that's the exact minute you have life f**ked up.

No matter how hard it rains, withstand the pain.

There are two worlds: the world we can measure with line and rule, and the world that we feel with our hearts and imagination.

I don't read reviews and I don't know what to do with opinions, so I just lose them. They take up space, they become a process of manufacturing a persona, which I want to avoid.

As you get older, your mind gets a little more set. And it needs the poking and prodding and breaking through of stereotypes that I think young people provide.

I have never encountered a winner that held hate towards something.

Women have the genius of charity. A man gives but his gold; a woman adds to it her sympathy.

My job isn't to represent the Democrat Party or the Republican Party. It's to represent Hoosier families.

I went out into the garden in the morning dusk, When sorrow enveloped me like a cloud; And the breeze brought to my nostril the odor of spices, As balm of healing for a sick soul.

It seldom happens that a premature shoot of genius ever arrives at maturity.

We reap in age what we have sown, in our values, all along the way.

Light the incense! You have to burn to be fragrant.
