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.

I am prepared for the worst, but hope for the best.

Joy descends gently upon us like the evening dew, and does not patter down like a hailstorm.

The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering.

As knowledge increases, wonder deepens.

Tears of joy are like the summer rain drops pierced by sunbeams.

What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.

Faith is love taking the form of aspiration.

Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy.

It's inspirational to see someone who is dying smile.
