“Now Momma's done away with the old black kettle she used to cook in when I was just little
And the door ain't sprung on her electric range
That little old farm and home we had it ain't there no more and that's too bad
Folks are doing away with the simple things…”

“Do not confuse dreams with wishes. There is a difference. Dreams are where you visualize yourself being successful at what's important to you to accomplish. Now, dreams build convictions because you work hard to pay the price to make sure that they come true. Wishes are are hoping good things will happen to you, but there's no fire in your gut that causes you to put everything forth to overcome all the obstacles. So you have to dream more and never, ever, ever blame somebody else if it doesn't happen. That is in your department.”
