About Life “The whole point of being alive is to evolve into the complete person you were intended to be.
Every time you state what you want or believe, you’re the first to hear it. It’s a message to both
you and others about what you think is possible. Don’t put a ceiling on yourself.”
“Just don’t give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration,
I don’t think you can go wrong.” “Life is really only a series of new beginnings, and just when you feel at the top of your world,
that world seems to rotate, and you find yourself at the beginning once again.” About Books “Books were my pass to personal freedom. I learned to read at age three, and soon discovered there
was a whole world to conquer that went beyond our farm in Mississippi.” “I can’t read books, but I can read the people.” About Body Image “I finally realized that being grateful to my body was key to giving more love to myself.” “Women should try to increase their size rather than decrease it, because I believe the bigger we are,
the more space we’ll take up, and the more we’ll have to be reckoned with.” “I’m not going to let my life revolve around losing weight. I have other things to do.” “When I joined Custer I donned the uniform of a soldier. It was a bit awkward at first, but I soon got to
be perfectly at home in men’s clothes.” “Just because you look good don’t mean you feel good.” About Happiness “When you are happy you can forgive a great deal.” “Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.” “I’m so lucky to be in the position to give. It’s really a gift to give.” “People say to me so often, ‘Jane, how can you be so peaceful when everywhere around
you people want books signed—people are asking these questions—and yet you seem peaceful.’ And
I always answer that it is the peace of the forest that I carry inside.” About Intuition “It is always with excitement that I wake up in the morning wondering what my intuition will toss up to me,
like gifts from the sea. I work with it and rely on it. It’s my partner.” “I have a woman’s instinct, and it’s always a good one.” About Dreams & Success “Aim at a high mark and you will hit it. No, not the first time, nor the second and
maybe not the third. But keep on aiming and keep on shooting for only practice will make you perfect.
Finally, you'll hit the Bull’s–Eye of Success.” “If I have accomplished anything in life it is because I have been willing to work hard.” “The reward for work well done is the opportunity to do more.” “That I did not fail was due in part to patience.” “For every one of us that succeeds, it’s because there’s somebody there to show you the way out. The light doesn’t always necessarily have to be in your family; for me it was teachers and school.” “When I was a child, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies, and I was the hero of the movie. So every dream I have ever dreamed has come true a thousand times.” “Don’t be discouraged by people who are small–minded. Keep your focus.” “I had little or no opportunity when I started out in life...I had to make my own living and my own opportunity.” About Personal Power “If women want any rights more than they’ve got, why don’t they just take them, and not be talking about it.” “The thing women have yet to learn is nobody gives you power. You just take it.” About Truth “Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain’t goin’ away.” “When you’re silent, it’s as good as lying.” “It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple
pleasures and to be cheerful and have courage when things go wrong.”
About Change “ Change happens by listening and then starting a dialogue with the people who are doing something you don’t believe is right.” About Grief “Shed not for her the bitter tear, Nor give the heart to vain regret, Tis but the casket that lies here, The gem that filled it sparkles yet.” About Simple Pleasures “It is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.” “My idea of heaven is a great big baked potato and someone to share it with.” About Love “Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.” “The kindness and affection from the public have carried me through some of the
most difficult periods, and always your love and affection have eased the journey.” “Once in his life, every man is entitled to fall madly in love with a gorgeous redhead.” “I think the biggest disease the world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of
people feeling unloved. I know that I can give love for a minute, for half an hour, for a day, for
a month, but I can give. I am very happy to do that. I want to do that.” “I believe that every single event in life happens in an opportunity to choose love over
fear.“ |
