The best form of flattery is to be admired, imitated or respected. I've always felt proud our fans look up to us or feel we are inspirational.

Nothing makes one feel so strong as a call for help.

There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.

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.

Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.

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

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

You don't look out there for God, something in the sky, you look in you.

Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life's deepest joy: true fulfillment.

Every heart that has beat strongly and cheerfully has left a hopeful impulse behind it in the world, and bettered the tradition of mankind.
