"I did not, thank the Lord, have..." - Quote by Dolly Parton

“Don't judge me by the cover, 'cause I'm a real good book.”

“Paradise is a state of mind.”

“I'm easy to look like, so there are lots and lots of Dolly look-alikes.”

“I never had a drink in my life. I don't smoke or anything.”

“I'm in favor of personal growth as long as it doesn't include malignant tumors.”

“Medicine is a collection of uncertain prescriptions, the results of which, taken collectively, are more fatal than useful to mankind.”

“Our favorite attitude should be gratitude.”

“It is a dangerous experiment to call in gratitude as an ally to love. Love is a debt which inclination always pays, obligation never.”

“The word 'happiness' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced and contrasted and compared to sadness. In comparing how an experience could have been worse we develop gratitude and happiness, while if we compare it how it could have been better we develop bitterness and sadness.”
