About this Quote

Whitney Houston's quote about her mother's knowledge brings a powerful message about staying real to oneself in the face of hardship. The singer's mother taught her that, when someone tells a lie about you, the best course of action is not to participate in a battle. Instead, by standing in the reality, following the values and beliefs that underpin your character, you show your stability to others. This is something that can not be attained through spoken battles or confrontations. Eventually, living by the reality and having faith in oneself is the key to being able to weather any storm that comes your method.
