Some guys look better as they get older.

I had a period where I thought I might not be good enough to publish.

The wine of youth does not always clear with advancing years; sometimes it grows turbid.

‚They‘ is… stay away from them, please. There is so many different definitions of ‚they.‘ You might have a personal ‚they.‘ They against you; they want you broken and miserable. They don’t like winners; they don’t like people who’s blessed. So everybody’s got a different ‚they.‘

It were a real increase of human happiness, could all young men from the age of nineteen be covered under barrels, or rendered otherwise invisible; and there left to follow their lawful studies and callings, till they emerged, sadder and wiser, at the age of twenty-five.

I’m the greatest thing that ever lived! I’m the king of the world! I’m a bad man. I’m the prettiest thing that ever lived.

Living in America and, of course, just being women in general, we’ve got more strength than we think we do.

The body is meant to be seen, not all covered up.

He who is of calm and happy nature will hardly feel the pressure of age, but to him who is of an opposite disposition youth and age are equally a burden.

Carry the battle to them. Don’t let them bring it to you. Put them on the defensive and don’t ever apologize for anything.

You can do what you have to do, and sometimes you can do it even better than you think you can.

Adults are obsolete children.

Maturity is the ability to reap without apology and not complain when things don’t go well.

There’s nothing I have to hide or defend. I’m gonna live my life. And there are times when people wanna try to attack me, and I don’t know why, but they will. And that’s okay.

We cannot live being obsessed with what other people think about us. It’s impossible to live like that. Not even God managed to please the entire world.

I think it’s OK to be confident in yourself.

I believe that singing is the key to long life, a good figure, a stable temperament, increased intelligence, new friends, super self-confidence, heightened sexual attractiveness, and a better sense of humor.

My public is growing up just as I am. After all, I’m not 19 anymore and if I stick with the sex bit, who will be paying to see me when I’m 50?

I’m odd looking. Sometimes I think I look like a funny muppet.

I heard that when Christina Aguilera went back to her prom, people, like, booed her. I can’t imagine going through that. If you know that’s going to happen, why put yourself in that situation? I’d rather play for 20,000 screaming people, you know?

My only fault is that I don’t realize how great I really am.

Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen.

It is well for the world that in most of us, by the age of thirty, the character has set like plaster, and will never soften again.

I’ve found men are less likely to let petty things annoy them.

I am not designed to come second or third. I am designed to win.

Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.

My mama never wore a pair of pants when I was growing up, and now that’s all she wears. It was so funny for me when I first started seeing Mama wear pants. It was like it wasn’t Mama. Now I’ve bought her many a pantsuit because she just lives in them.

I’ve come to admire our military kids more than you all will know, because you guys are heroes. And the only way your parents are able to serve is because you guys hold it down, and you do it with maturity beyond your years.

I have never been bewildered for long in any fight with our enemies – I was Armed with Insight.

If every choice you make comes from an honest place, you’re solid, and nothing anybody can say about you can rock you or change your opinion.

Age merely shows what children we remain.

I like to make people feel happy and superior in their reaction towards my appearance.

I think, a lot of times when you meet someone, you feel like you need to appear like you’re not interested in them so that they’ll be more interested in you. But what happens when you start showing him that you actually like him? What’s he gonna do then? Play the tape forward; how do you keep a guy like that? I don’t want to sign up for that.

There is more to sex appeal than just measurements. I don’t need a bedroom to prove my womanliness. I can convey just as much sex appeal, picking apples off a tree or standing in the rain.

We’re so immaturely cynical as a culture. We’re not wise enough to look at an institution like marriage and to really things about what it means and what it signifies. It signifies a place where people can tie the ropes of their lives together so that they’re stronger. It signifies a place where people can tell the truth to one another.

I always put myself out there. I’m not afraid to commit to something.

I figured that if I said it enough, I would convince the world that I really was the greatest.

If I make a fool of myself, who cares? I’m not frightened by anyone’s perception of me.

I don’t have to show anything to anyone. There is nothing to prove.

One of the best things that ever happened to me is that I’m a woman. That is the way all females should feel.

People who want the most approval get the least and people who need approval the least get the most.

A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.

Well, I don’t think there’s any need for people to focus on my career.

I think Himalayan climbers tend to mature fairly late. I think most of the successful Himalayan climbers have ranged from 28 to just over 40, really.

I think that I am better than the people who are trying to reform me.

That’s when you know you’re the greatest: when you’re the greatest, and people still put odds against you.

You have to feel confident. If you don’t, then you’re going to be hesitant and defensive, and there’ll be a lot of things working against you.

I care not what others think of what I do, but I care very much about what I think of what I do! That is character!

Calm mind brings inner strength and self-confidence, so that’s very important for good health.

You make yourself broad. You make yourself appealing. ‚Hey, y’all, I’m cool with everybody.‘ That’s my message.

When you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete, everybody will respect you.

There are people out there who hate me and who say I’m arrogant, vain, and whatever. That’s all part of my success. I am made to be the best.

Life’s too short to deal with other people’s insecurities.

I still think I am the greatest.

I was very blessed to have family and friends, but particularly family, who told me I was not only all right, I was just right, so I believe that my brain is a good one, and it’s lasting me very well.

Self-confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings.
