“We need a backbone, not a wishbone.”

Joyce Meyer (1943) American author and speaker

“To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funnybone.”

Reba McEntire (1955) American country music artist and actress

“As a little girl, I would always ask my grandmother what it would take to be successful in life. … She said all you need are the three bones: the wishbone, the jawbone, and the backbone. The wishbone would keep you hoping and praying because hope is the motivator, but the dream is the driver. The jawbone will give you courage to speak truth to power, lift your voice — it should matter that you’re in the room, that you’re in that space with that voice. The backbone … will give you courage to stand through all of your trials and tribulations.”

Nina Turner (1967) American politician
