Every charitable act is a stepping stone toward heaven.

Love and desire are the spirit's wings to great deeds.

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

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.

Hope is some extraordinary spiritual grace that God gives us to control our fears, not to oust them.

For a gallant spirit there can never be defeat.

It is not ignorance but knowledge which is the mother of wonder.

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

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

Believe you can and you're halfway there.
