Never grow a wishbone, daughter, where you backbone ought to be.

Clementine Paddleford

Put your backbone where your wishbone is.

Vikram Seth

We like them big ... but we'll settle for players with three kinds of bones - a funnybone, a wishbone and a backbone. The funnybone is to enjoy a laugh, even at one's own expense. The wishbone is to think by, set one's goals high and have dreams and ambitions. And the backbone - well, that's what a player needs to get up and go to work and make those dreams come true.

Duffy Daugherty

Although she was not a politician, my grandmother gave me the most important lesson I've ever received and one I carry with me today. That all you need to be successful in life is three things: your wishbone to dream big, your jawbone to speak the truth, and your backbone to persevere through it all.

Nina Turner

Dream big . . . don't let anybody or anything break your wishbone. Stay strong, full of faith, and courageous... keep that backbone straight. And along the way, don't forget to laugh and enjoy the journey.

Charles R. Swindoll

Get a backbone, not a wishbone.

Caroline Myss

We need a backbone, not a wishbone.

Joyce Meyer

The wishbone will never replace the backbone.

Henry Wilson Allen

The [Liberal] federal government's trouble is that they have a wishbone where they should have a backbone.

Tommy Douglas

To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone.

Reba McEntire

The individual activity of one man with backbone will do more than a thousand men with a mere wishbone.

William J. H. Boetcker

Many a man has failed because he had his wishbone where his backbone should have been.

Ronald Reagan

Your first obligation, I suppose, is to your God. Your second is to your family. And your third is to your community. And you ought to try to fulfill all of those in your life.

Dick Murphy

You don't need a wishbone, you need a backbone.

Caroline Myss

Sometimes it's great to have a backbone, but you've got to be careful. Remember that sometimes, when you hurt your backbone, you can't get it fixed because you don't have enough money.

Terry Funk

Stop trying to change someone who does not want to change. Stop giving chances to someone who abuses your forgiveness. Stop walking back to the place where your heart ran from. Stop trusting their words and ignoring their actions. Stop breaking your own heart.

Trent Shelton
