"If you want to honor your craft and yourself, strive for the nobler instincts."

Integrity
"Here’s what I know: I’m a better person at fifty than I was at forty-eight … and better at fifty-two than I was at fifty. I’m calmer, easier to live with. All this stuff is in my soul forever. Just don’t get lazy. Work at your relationships all the time. Take care of friendships, hold people you love close to you, take advantage of birthdays to celebrate fiercely. It’s the worrying — not the years themselves — that will make you less of a woman."
- Patti LaBelle
Personal Growth
"You can take hold of the situation. I feel great now. I live the right way. I wear fierce clothes. Everything I do now, I do it proud. I am a divabetic!"
- Patti LaBelle

- Patti LaBelle
Determination
"You don’t have to be an angel, just be someone who can give."
