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.

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

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

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.

There is nothing stronger in the world than gentleness.

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

For a gallant spirit there can never be defeat.

What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.

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