My fans mean everything to me - especially the sisters! When you're on 'The View' or you're doing movies and stuff, you're a little bit insulated. It means so much to me when a woman comes up to me and says, 'Sherri, you said what I feel.' That just means so much to me to know that I have that support.

Emily Dickinson

Faith is not belief without proof, but trust without reservation.

Elton Trueblood

I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.

Groucho Marx

I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.

Laura Ingalls Wilder

In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.
