Take what you can do and use it for the highest good to benefit others.

In order to be truly happy, you must live along with, and you must stand for something larger than yourself.

You really haven't changed, you've just become more of yourself. That is really what were all trying to do: become more of ourselves.

Lasting joy is found not in what you get, but in what you give.

What I know for sure: Having the best things is no substitute for having the best life. When you can let go of the desire to acquire, you know you are really on your way.

I would say that during the time that I was 14 and pregnant - I didn't even know what pregnancy was when I got pregnant - I was trying to do everything I could to harm myself. I said to God, "God, if you want me to die, then you're going to have to kill me".

I'm finally ready to own my own power, to say, "This is who I am." If you like it, you like it. And if you don't like it, you don't. So watch out; I'm gonna fly.
