"I think that I'm perfect...." - Quote by Dolly Parton

“I'm pretty sure in my older years, I'll be doing old-time flavored folk-mountain music.”

“I have surrounded myself with very smart people.”

“I'm not really a political-type person, meaning that I don't really make great stands or whatever, but if you ask me a direct question I say it shouldn't matter who you are, whether you're black, white, green, gay, male, female. If you can do a job and do it well you should be paid for it, you should be respected for it, and you have to be responsible. I think sometimes people can go too fare trying to make a point. I think they should just make their point and go on about.”

“Nothing is more ridiculous in old people that were once good-looking, than to forget that they are not so still.”

“Who judges best of a Man, his Enemies or himself?”

“Some people appear to be more meager in talent than they are, just because the tasks they set themselves are always too great.”

“The condition of perfection is idleness: the aim of perfection is youth.”

“When you do dance, I wish you a wave o' the sea, that you might ever do nothing but that.”

“Man would not be the finest creature in the world if he were not too fine for it.”
