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 meaning I picked, the one that changed my life: Overcome fear, behold wonder.

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

I pray God may preserve your health and life many years.

Every moment and every event of every man's life on earth plants something in his soul.

Great hopes make great men.

Man never made any material as resilient as the human spirit.

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

Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold, happiness dwells in the soul.

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