"Every time I've done something that doesn't feel right, it's ended up not being right." 

Mario Cuomo 

I think the quote means that if you're doing something that doesn't feel right you probably shouldn't do it cause if it doesn't feel right it most likely will end up being wrong. So if it doesn't feel right make sure to re-check if it is or isn't.

"Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me."

Carol Burnett

I think she is trying to say that you are in control in your life not anyone else, so don't let anyone change who you are because everyone is their own person and no one should be able to change who that person is. If someone were to tell you that you need to change the way you are you wouldn't do it because that isn't what you want.
