"Paradise is a state of mind...." - Quote by Dolly Parton

“With the first money I ever made I bought my Mommy and Daddy a car, and helped them fix their house up.”

“I was not a natural beauty, and I always wanted to be pretty. I just have such an outgoing personality that it's fitting that I would be overdone.”

“When you're 40, you can't ride the fence anymore. You gotta make definite decisions about your life.”

“The truth is that there is no actual stress or anxiety in the world; it's your thoughts that create these false beliefs. You can't package stress, touch it, or see it. There are only people engaged in stressful thinking.”

“All things being equal, attitude wins. All things not being equal, attitude sometimes still wins.”

“An optimist sees the oportunity in every difficulty.”

“If we affirm one moment, we thus affirm not only ourselves but all existence. For nothing is self-sufficient, neither in us ourselves nor in things; and if our soul has trembled with happiness and sounded like a harp string just once, all eternity was needed to produce this one event - and in this single moment of affirmation all eternity was called good, redeemed, justified, and affirmed.”

“If you want to be unhappy, uncomfortable, and insecure, just spend your life trying to do something that is not right for you. It is just like trying to wear shoes that don't fit.”

“Genuine happiness and compassion go hand in hand.”
