The thing I will never forget was the talk he gave about faith. While the forgettable man handed out little red leatherette-bound New Testaments, “Searchlight” passed out key chains. They were not just any key chains. Each one had a little plastic ball on the end with a single mustard seed inside. The plastic globe magnified it, much like the odd man’s eyes. If you looked closely, you could read a Bible verse on a shred of paper next to the mustard seed. It said, “If ye have faith, even as much as a single seed of mustard, ye shall be able to move mountains.” I took that to heart. In my particular case it might have said, “Ye shall move from the mountains” or even “Ye shall grow mountains and parlay them into a huge career.

Additional quotes by Dolly Parton

I wrote a lot of songs that people wouldn’t play on the radio, but I didn’t care. It bothered me at the time, but I never thought, “I shouldn’t have done that.” Whatever I write is just what comes out of me, and I refuse to be judged.

Driven to insanity, driven to the edge
Driven to the point of almost no return
Driven to think awful thoughts, do awful things
But at least I’d like to think I’ve learned

I’m driven
Driven to be smarter
Driven to work harder
Driven to be better everyday
Driven to keep on and on
To achieve the things I want
I’ll be sorry if I don’t
Make the most of livin’
I’m driven
