When it comes to advice, we all have those very specific people in our lives that we turn to. Some of us look to our parents, some to our best friends, and some still to our teachers.
But if your most trusted advisors aren't around and you truly need a piece of brilliant advice, you don't have to look any further than the one and only Dolly Parton.
Dolly is known for many things — her singing, her songwriting, her acting, and her advocacy. But she is also known for her words of wisdom.
She practically has a saying for every occasion, whether you're feeling down, feeling lonely, feeling uninspired, or feeling like a laugh.
Each of the Dolly quotes below is genius in its own way. Instead of getting myself a "Word of the Day" calendar, I may have to get myself a "Dolly Quote of the Day" calendar. Whatever the occasion, Dolly's got the perfect thing to say!
1. "If you see someone without a smile, give them yours."
2. "You'll never do a whole lot unless you're brave enough to try."
3. "If you don't like the road you're walking, start paving another one."
4. "The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain!"
5. "Don't get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life."
6. "I tried every diet in the book. I tried some that weren't in the book. I tried eating the book. It tasted better than most diets."
7. "Above everything else I've done, I've always said I've had more guts than I've got talent."
8. "I don't kiss nobody's butt."
9. "I'm not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I'm not dumb... And I also know that I'm not blonde."
10. "Find out who you are. And do it on purpose."
11. "Storms make trees take deeper roots."
12. "My whole philosophy is just to really do the very best you can because what else can you do?"
13. "It's hard to be a diamond in a rhinestone world."
14. "I wish you joy and happiness. But above all this, I wish you love."
Dolly's sage advice proves that she is just as wise as she is talented!
