Monica Denise Brown Quotations

I am a firm believer that God has already ordered the things that have taken place in my life...and I'm just learning to follow the path he's laid before me.

The best part of being a mom to me is the unconditional love. I have never felt a love as pure, a love that's as rewarding.

My husband is my part of my greatest joys, so it doesn't feel like work or like I'm balancing anything. My husband and my kids absolutely come first, so work is just something where I figure out where it will fit.

My image is me. I talk for myself. I didn't become this person others wanted me to be.

I think that you are what you speak a lot of times, and there's power in the tongue. I feel sorry for the people who always have something negative to say. If something happens bad in my day, I don't tweet about it - I pray about it, or talk to my husband about it or my mother about it, and get it off of me and move on.

I find the positive in the negative all the time. Any time you give something power, it wins, and it can continuously happen, so I just let negative people know they have no place in my life. They have no place around my children.

My first priority is my children. If at any moment I put aside something that I want to do to be a better parent than that is more than okay for me.

I dedicated almost 12 years to the music industry before having children.

I don't know why I love cherries and I love pickles. I eat about two or three Claussen pickles a day. Those are just things I snack on.

I've been more conscious of my salt intake, sugar intake, making sure I'm not eating as many processed foods.

Multitasking is a part of my everyday life.

You can spread your soul over a paddy field, you can whisper to a mango tree, you can feel the earth between your toes and know that this is the place, the place where it begins and ends. But what can you tell to a pile of bricks? The bricks will not be moved (page 87).

The thought of writing was always pleasant, but the process was painful

If God wanted us to ask questions, he would have made us men.

If you think you are powerless, then you are

That Monica who's just gonna sit there in mediocrity... That Monica died in Samoa

I don't know which is more nutty. All this stuff I do outside of work, or the stuff I do all week.

Now, everybody knows the basic erogenous zones. You got one, two, three, four, five, six, and seven. ... OK, now most guys will hit one, two, three and then go to seven and set up camp. ... You want to hit 'em all and you wanna mix 'em up. You gotta keep 'em on their toes. ... You could start out with a little one. A two. A one, two, three. A three. A five. A four. A three, two. Two. A two, four, six. Two, four, six. Four. Two. Two. Four, seven! Five, seven! Six, seven! Seven! Seven! Seven! Seven! Seven! Seven! Seven! Seven! Seven! [holds up seven fingers]

In the only way that pain can be truly remembered, through a new pain.

You know, sometimes you have to remember the bad things so that you can learn from them.

I'm a traditional wife in every sense.

Who? God. What? He loves you. Where? Everywhere. When? Always, forever, without ceasing. How? Totally, completely. Why? Because you are His child!

God is not a luxury you can't afford; He's a necessity you truly cannot live without!

Every day online, people, especially young people who are not developmentally equipped to handle this, are so abused and humiliated that they can't imagine living to the next day, and some tragically don't. And there's nothing virtual about that.

Do you know how painful it is to tell someone you love him and not hear him say it back?

I have got five minutes, some whip-its, and the key to the executive bathroom.

You can't take my joy, because you didn't give it to me

I look at you looking at me, Now I know why the best things are free, How you've changed my world You'll never know, I'm different now, You've helped me grow.
