― Tyler Perry
2 " ...when you put on your shortest dress, please leave some mystery in it. That's the difference between a miniskirt and a ho-skirt. A ho-skirt shows your Frisbee. A miniskirt shows just enough to cause some mystery. What these young women lack is mystery. "
― Tyler Perry , Don't Make a Black Woman Take Off Her Earrings: Madea's Uninhibited Commentaries on Love and Life
3 " What I've found about it is that there are some folks you can talk to until you're blue in the face--they're never going to get it and they're never going to change. But every once in a while, you'll run into someone who is eager to listen, eager to learn, and willing to try new things. Those are the people we need to reach. We have a responsibility as parents, older people, teachers, people in the neighborhood to recognize that. "

7 " Everybody's got skeletons in the closets. Every once in a while, you've got to open up the closet and the let the skeletons breathe. Half the time, the very thing you think is gonna destroy you or ruin you is the very thing that nobody cares about. My advice to people with skeletons is to dust them off every now and then-- as long as your closet's aint full of them. It's not good to have more than two or three. "
8 " What I have learned in this life is you can never be ashamed of where you come from. "
9 " In that day, we didn't have no remote controls and vacuum cleaners. If you wanted all that stuff you had children! "

13 " we didn't have much, but we had love. "
14 " Once you're truly happy with yourself alone, that's when you are safe to find the right person to spend the rest of your life with. "
15 " You will always fine jealous people.They're the ones promoting you. "
16 " If I'm away from you for more than an hour, I can't stop thinking about you. I carry you in my spirit. I pray for you more than I pray for myself...I know you don't believe in fairy tales. But, if you did, I'd want to be your knight in shining armor. You've been through so much. I don't want to see you hurt anymore. Now I may not be able to give you all that your used to. But I do know I can love you past your pain. I don't want you to worry about anything. You just wake up in the morning, that's all you have to do and I'll take it from there...There's one condition...You have to be my wife "
17 " I'm just enjoying my life.I suggest you try it. "
18 " People always try to do the right thing..after they've tried everything else. "
19 " Don't wait for someone to green light your project, build your own intersection. "
20 " People say the truth hurts. Hell no, it hurts even more if you do a whole bunch of foolishness to try and avoid it. "
