"Storms make trees take deeper roots...." - Quote by Dolly Parton

“Mine is a jealous heart, imagines things that never are.”

“[On being overweight:] If I tried to haul ass, I would have to make two trips.”

“I'm not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I'm not dumb... and I also know that I'm not blonde.”

“To dwell on the things that depress or anger us does not help in overcoming them. One must knock them down alone.”

“We have our difficulties, true; but we are a wiser and a tougher nation than we were in 1932. Never have there been six years of such far flung internal preparedness in all of history. And this has been done without any dictator's power to command, without conscription of labor or confiscation of capital, without concentration camps and without a scratch on freedom of speech, freedom of the press or the rest of the Bill of Rights.”

“Adversity in immunological doses has its uses; more than that crushes.”

“It is in the character of growth that we should learn from both pleasant and unpleasant experiences.”

“For a while they stood there, like men on the edge of a sleep where nightmare lurks, holding it off, though they know that they can only come to morning through the shadows.”

“Love your enemies, for they determine who you are.”
