Never complain and never explain.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Know or listen to those who know.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
I can find some way to make poetry out of my life's experiences.
I think a lot of people think that my parents' deaths is why I write such sad songs, but that's not true. Those songs may just be the woman I am.
I like strength. I depend on my own.
