Marla Gibbs quotes about
When I get on a plane these days, I go first class.

There are no accidents; we're all teachers - if we're willing to pay attention to the lessons we learn, trust our positive instincts and not be afraid to take risks or wait for some miracle to come knocking at our door.
Science of mind teaches you how to realize how much control you have over your own life. It teaches you that we have the ability to change our lives at any point we choose.
Everything must change and you do what you can with the changes that are made. You can't stop it. You can't fight it. Everybody tries to go back to yesterday, but you can't go back to yesterday. The only time there is, is now.

I grew up weird - very sensitive and highly inhibited. I felt like I was born in the wrong time zone to the wrong people at the wrong place.
As soon as I finish one thing, there's always something else on the horizon I want to do. I don't have any intention of retiring from anything.
You cheat yourself when you don't do what it is you're supposed to do. You have an obligation to learn everything that you can.
Dave Chappelle asked me to come do his show. I read the script, and I said, 'Has he lost his mind?'
In my life I've learned that true happiness comes from giving. Helping others along the way makes you evaluate who you are. I think that love is what we're all searching for. I haven't come across anyone who didn't become a better person through love.
