What can you get for a dollar? You can get piss and paper
Wearing cheap clothes or driving an old car doesn’t make you broke. You got a family to feed not a community to impress.
If we think that the way we live is good enough, then we’re completely wrong. You have to be able to doubt so that you can see that it can be done differently.
Grief is the price we pay for love.
If you ever find yourself cringing at something you did in the past, it means you have grown as a person.

If one is not happy with oneself, then why should others be?
The most memorable moments in life are the ones you never planned.
My biggest beauty secret is to be happy with myself. I don’t use special creams or treatments – I use a little bit of everything. It’s a mistake to think you are what you put on yourself. I think a lot of how you look has to do with how you feel about yourself and your life. Happiness is the secret of beauty.
I don’t think you should think too much about the fact that time is passing and you’re not a teenager anymore. Then you just get plagued and get even more wrinkles and look even more grumpy and sad.

I believe that if you just get up and go, life will open up to you.
My mom and dad didn’t love each other, so they were always fighting.
Remember, when you point a finger at someone there are three more pointing back at you.
In the past, we learned to cope with challenges ourselves. Today, a lot of people younger than me are not resistant to the vicissitudes and emotional challenges of life. If you’ve been told all your life that it’s the others who should spoil you and keep you free of problems, you’re probably a very sober person emotionally.
I thought I was stone rich, so I poured money out with both hands – and now I owe right and left.
Don’t just read the easy stuff. You may be entertained by it, but you will never grow from it.
