I'm convinced of this: Good done anywhere is good done everywhere.

Forgiveness. It's one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself, to forgive. Forgive everybody. You are relieved of carrying that burden of resentment. You really are lighter. You feel lighter. You just drop that.

I love wisdom. And you can never be great at anything unless you love it. Not be in love with it, but love the thing, admire the thing. And it seems that if you love the thing, and you don't just want to possess it, it will find you.

Ritie, don't worry 'cause you ain't pretty. Plenty pretty women I seen digging ditches or worse. You smart. I swear to God, I rather you have a good mind than a cute behind.

I'm interested in women's health because I'm a woman. I'd be a darn fool not to be on my own side.

Success is loving life and daring to live it.

Women should be tough, tender, laugh as much as possible, and live long lives.
