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.

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

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

Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love.

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

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

We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone.

God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with him.

I arise full of eagerness and energy, knowing well what achievement lies ahead of me.

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