The future will be better tomorrow.

I always entertain great hopes.

I say luck is when an opportunity comes along and you’re prepared for it.

I’ve never responded well to entrenched negative thinking.

I am grateful to be a woman. I must have done something great in another life.

Peace begins with a smile.

There’s no reason why I can’t be a mogul. When I step into a room and I’m there to have a conversation, if it pertains to business, I want to be respected as a guy who knows what he’s talking about. And that, to me, holds more weight than anything else.

Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.

If you want to be enthusiastic, act enthusiastic.

I want to believe that I am improving. This is something that I take really seriously.

If you desire to be good, begin by believing that you are wicked.

People who think too much before they act don’t act too much.

We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.

The willow which bends to the tempest, often escapes better than the oak which resists it; and so in great calamities, it sometimes happens that light and frivolous spirits recover their elasticity and presence of mind sooner than those of a loftier character.

The most important thing is to enjoy your life – to be happy – it’s all that matters.

An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself.

There is no room for military people, including our veterans, to see themselves as victims, even if so many of our countrymen are prone to relish that role.

You know, T can stand for anything. T stand for working hard. T stand for loving thy neighbor. T stand for feeding the hungry. T stand for just working, working, working, being happy on the set, you know, lifting everybody’s spirits. T stands for just a nice guy.

I always knew I was going to be rich. I don’t think I ever doubted it for a minute.

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

Any idea, plan, or purpose may be placed in the mind through repetition of thought.

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.

I learned a long time ago the wisest thing I can do is be on my own side, be an advocate for myself and others like me.

A word of encouragement from a teacher to a child can change a life. A word of encouragement from a spouse can save a marriage. A word of encouragement from a leader can inspire a person to reach her potential.

Why is it you always meet people when you look your worst?

What someone else does or doesn’t do has no effect on me and what I do.

Remember, you can always stoop and pick up nothing.

Why should we think upon things that are lovely? Because thinking determines life. It is a common habit to blame life upon the environment. Environment modifies life but does not govern life. The soul is stronger than its surroundings.

When fate hands you a lemon, make lemonade.

I have great faith in fools; self-confidence my friends call it.

The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.

I’m very secure about my talents and about who I am.

The value of beauty and inspiration is very much underrated, no question. But I want to be clear: I’m not trying to be anyone’s savior. I’m just trying to think about the future and not be sad.

No one’s policing their own minds more than an author. You spend a lot of time in your own head analysing what you think about things, and a philosophy comes.

Every day is a gift from God, no matter how old we are.

Good is positive. Evil is merely privative, not absolute: it is like cold, which is the privation of heat. All evil is so much death or nonentity. Benevolence is absolute and real. So much benevolence as a man hath, so much life hath he.

The secret to happiness is to face the fact that the world is horrible.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

What we think, we become.

We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.

I think I write in a fairly self-confident manner.

I want the world to see my body.

There is no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.

I want to represent… to the kids to draw strength from me. So they can see that everybody goes through something, but you can rise up and do your best. Just try.

Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.

Over the years, I’ve learned that a confident person doesn’t concentrate or focus on their weaknesses – they maximize their strengths.

‚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.‘

I’ve read the last page of the Bible. It’s all going to turn out all right.

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

Life is too short not to celebrate nice moments!

It’s stasis that kills you off in the end, not ambition.

See, when you drive home today, you’ve got a big windshield on the front of your car. And you’ve got a little bitty rearview mirror. And the reason the windshield is so large and the rearview mirror is so small is because what’s happened in your past is not near as important as what’s in your future.

Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.

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

I’ve always been very happy. I’ve always been easy going and I’ve always been very encouraging; it’s just my personality.

With realization of one’s own potential and self-confidence in one’s ability, one can build a better world.

If the people are happy, united, wealthy, and powerful, we presume the rest. We conclude that to be good from whence good is derived.

I don’t see how people are comfortable with seeing other people be great. You can be happy for anybody, but what is your excuse to not want to be great? These people are great because they just say, ‚I’ma do that,‘ and they do it. That’s it. There’s no scientifical process.
