"I'm not happy all the time, and..." - Quote by Dolly Parton

“I learned early on that I could get a lot of attention by singing and writing little songs, so it was like throwing nuts to a monkey... I just couldn't get enough.”

“I love to make things happen, I love to see things happen, I love to be a part of things that are happening.”

“Sometimes my mouth is a little too big and a little too open and sounds too much like a sailor.”

“Give so much to the improvement of yourself, that you don’t have time to criticize others.”

“My days of whining and complaining about others have come to an end. Nothing is easier than fault finding. All it will do is discolor my personality so that none will want to associate with me. That was my old life. No more.”

“Until you have formed the habit of looking for the good instead of the bad there is in others, you will be neither successful nor happy.”

“The sum of the whole is this: walk and be happy, walk and be healthy. "The best of all ways to lengthen our days" is not, as Mr. Thomas Moore has it, "to steal a few hours from night, my love;" but, with leave be it spoken, to walk steadily and with a purpose. The wandering man knows of certain ancients, far gone in years, who have staved off infirmities and dissolution by earnest walking,-hale fellows close upon eighty and ninety, but brisk as boys.”

“The person lives most beautifully who does not reflect upon existence”

“The perfection of wisdom, and the end of true philosophy is to proportion our wants to our possessions, our ambitions to our capacities, we will then be a happy and a virtuous people.”
