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.

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.

You are always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past.

Grace is the beauty of form under the influence of freedom.

Look within. Within is the fountain of good, and it will ever bubble up, if thou wilt ever dig.

And now, this is the sweetest and most glorious day that ever my eyes did see.

There is nothing stronger in the world than gentleness.

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

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

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