What rings true is that everything we grow through in life will work out for our good.

we didn't have much, but we had love.

What I have learned in this life is you can never be ashamed of where you come from.

Everybody's got skeletons in the closets. Every once in a while, you've got to open up the closet and the let the skeletons breathe. Half the time, the very thing you think is gonna destroy you or ruin you is the very thing that nobody cares about. My advice to people with skeletons is to dust them off every now and then-- as long as your closet's aint full of them. It's not good to have more than two or three.

In that day, we didn't have no remote controls and vacuum cleaners. If you wanted all that stuff you had children!
