how you love yourself is how you teach others to love you

what drives you crazy what keeps you up at night

you must understand the difference between want and need you may want that boy but you certainly don't need him

you must enter a relationship with yourself before anyone else

do not look for healing at the feet of those who broke you

if you were born with the weakness to fall you were born with the strength to rise

it takes grace to remain kind in cruel situations

to be soft is to be powerful

accept yourself as you were designed

other women's bodies are not our battlegrounds

i have what i have and i am happy i've lost what i've lost and i am still happy

if the hurt comes so will the happiness

you are your own soul mate

some people are so bitter to them you must be kindest

if you are not enough for yourself you will never be enough for someone else

you must want to spend the rest of your life with yourself first

Dont do what youll have to find an excuse for.

I think the greatest thing that we can do is take care of each other.

If you've done a brilliant version it becomes something else.

I used to hate performing in front of anybody, but I was forced to sing in front of family, at family gatherings. Then it slowly developed, and I started to love it.

Sometimes you could tell what it was about - it was interesting - and sometimes it was quite obvious that someone had lost it and it was on an endless loop.

Writing and creating, those things come to me on their own. I feel like... you sort of summon them and it's like allowing the universe to enter your heart in an entirely different way to what it normally does. It's like inviting that energy of the universe to enter into your craft in a way where it has a meaning.

I like people.

My life has never been a part of a big plan. It's more of an unfolding adventure.

Do you know how many calories are in butter and cheese and ice cream? Would you get your dog up in the morning for a cup of coffee and a donut?

Presidents are elected not by direct popular vote but by 538 members of the Electoral College.

For me, forgiveness and compassion are always linked: how do we hold people accountable for wrongdoing and yet at the same time remain in touch with their humanity enough to believe in their capacity to be transformed?

Nothing is more honorable than a grateful heart.

I really like kids.

I think every time you work with another collaborator, there's an adjustment process where you figure out the other person's strengths, and that has definitely happened for me.

All over the world, people are looking at India and saying 'wow', and that's because we have begun to say 'wow' ourselves.

So along with that is spending a lot of time with the ball. For me it was, I loved to juggle the ball in my front yard, and I always challenged myself - how many juggles can I get today? I think for players to get better, it's just about spending the time.

I started writing because I found I could spend more time in my own imagination by doing that than I could by reading.

There is a quality even meaner than outright ugliness or disorder, and this meaner quality is the dishonest mask of pretended order, achieved by ignoring or suppressing the real order that is struggling to exist and to be served.

There are glimpses of heaven to us in every act, or thought, or word, that raises us above ourselves.

I love performing, and I love being in front of people. I love the pressure you get and the pleasure performing brings.

Every little detail of my life is, and has always been, surrounded by fashion - from the cup I drink my coffee from in the morning to my constant travels - fashion always pops up somewhere and somehow.

But I was so wrapped up in sports growing up as a kid, that I think I was going to grow to be a pro ball player. But I found out real quick that was not going to happen.

We started MakerBot in 2009 and made a conscious decision to educate people with the possibilities they could do with 3D printing and share with people what is possible.

There's nothing wrong with white if it's all right.
