One of my theories about life is that we become what we believe.

When you educate a woman, you set her free. Had I not had books and education in Mississippi, I would have believed that's all there was.

I have named myself an unofficial ambassador for Australia and I have the biggest mouth on Earth.

Keep a grateful journal. Every night, list five things that you are grateful for. What it will begin to do is change our perspective of your day and your life.

What material success does is provide you with the ability to concentrate on other things that really matter. And that is being able to make a difference, not only in your own life, but in other people's lives.

When people say they are looking for happiness, I ask, What are you giving to the world?

I'm always interested in people being able to share stories that allow us to see the landscape of human foibles, challenges, and ultimately triumph.
