More quotes by Whitney Houston
I broke my heart for every gain, to taste the sweet I faced the pain.
Whitney Houston
I think over the years, being a mother, I've matured in so many ways.
Whitney Houston
I feel so blessed to just have done what I had done. To be able to just use what God has given me is a blessing. You know, never mind the Grammys, never mind the records, never mind all of that. Just to be able to sing.
Whitney Houston
Never let your heart take precedence over reason, otherwise you will have problems.
Whitney Houston

To learn your artistry and to be able to perfect that, is overwhelming. Especially when you are exuding love. The human emotion is a very delicate thing, so you have to be careful about how you present it because it can be kind of scary, or too overwhelming if you're not careful. So I try to just keep it love.
Whitney Houston
I almost wish I could be more exciting, that I could match what is happening out there to me.
Whitney Houston
There can be miracles when you believe.
Whitney Houston
In grammar school some of the girls had problems with me. My face was too light. My hair was too long. It was the black-consciousness period, and I felt really bad.
Whitney Houston
I'm just fiercely protective. It's like, that's my lair and nobody messes with my lair.
Whitney Houston
Learning to love yourself, is the greatest love all
Whitney Houston
When you're feeling full of doubt and fear has got you in a bind, love will save the day.
Whitney Houston
I love to sing, but it's just not fun anymore.
Whitney Houston
I'm either my best friend or my worst enemy.
Whitney Houston
I believe that children are our future
