To him who knows to prosper and does it not, to him it is sin.
Don't get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life.
I was born with a happy heart, and I try to keep a good attitude. It's not true that I'm happy all the time because nobody is, and we all go through our things.
I make jokes about it, but it's the truth that I kind of patterned my look after the town tramp. I didn't know what she was, just this woman who was blond and piled her hair up, wore high heels and tight skirts, and, boy, she was the prettiest thing I'd ever seen. Momma used to say, "Aw, she's just trash," and I thought, That's what I want to be when I grow up. Trash.

Marriage, friends, is a lifelong feast; love is no light lunch.
Give them bread and circuses and they will never revolt
