Man never made any material as resilient as the human spirit.

I have looked into your eyes with my eyes. I have put my heart near your heart.

Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love.

Nurture your minds with great thoughts. To believe in the heroic makes heroes.

Everyone here has the sense that right now is one of those moments when we are influencing the future.

It is only in sorrow bad weather masters us in joy we face the storm and defy it.

Put your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest acts. This is the secret of success.

Change your thoughts and you change your world.

Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.

The only thing that ultimately matters is to eat an ice-cream cone, play a slide trombone, plant a small tree, good God, now you're free.
