I always knew I'd be a millionaire by age thirty-two. In fact, I am going to be the richest black woman in America.

I will tell you that there have been no failures in my life. I don't want to sound like some metaphysical queen,but there have been no failures. There have been some tremendous lessons.

Failure is just a way for our lives to show us we're moving in the wrong direction, that we should try something different

I don't yell at people, I don't mistreat people. I don't talk down to people, so no one else in this building, in this vicinity, has the right to do it.

We need to deprogram ourselves. I know for sure that you can't give what you don't have. If you allow yourself to be depleted to the point where your emotional and spiritual tank is empty and you're running on fumes of habit, everybody loses. Especially you.

One percent doubt is zero percent faith.

Every day brings a chance for you to draw in a breath, kick off your shoes, and dance.
