"I have a tendency to be awfully..." - Quote by Dolly Parton

“My nails are my rhythm section when I'm writing a song all alone. Some day, I may cut an album, just me and my nails.”

“There's nothing like white trash at the White House.”

“I've been to those places where it's 'poor, pitiful me.'”

“Ultimately, peace is just not about politics. It's about attitudes; about a sense of empathy; about breaking down the divisions that we create for ourselves in our own minds and our own hearts that don't exist in any objective reality, but that we carry with us generation after generation. And I know, because America, we, too, have had to work hard over the decades, slowly, gradually, sometimes painfully, in fits and starts, to keep perfecting our union.”

“The secret of success in society is a certain heartiness and sympathy. A man who is not happy in company, cannot find any word in his memory that will fit the occasion; all his information is a little impertinent. A man who is happy there, finds in every turn of the conversation occasions for the introduction of what he has to say. The favorites of society are able men, and of more spirit than wit, who have no uncomfortable egotism, but who exactly fill the hour and the company, contended and contenting.”

“Love can often be misguided and do as much harm as good, but respect can do only good. It assumes that the other person's stature is as large as one's own, his rights as reasonable, his needs as important.”

“A generous heart and wholesome actions lead to greater peace.”

“We can only give away to others what we have inside ourselves.”

“Your successes and happiness are forgiven you only if you generously consent to share them.”
