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.

It is only in sorrow bad weather masters us in joy we face the storm and defy it.

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

We can change our lives. We can do, have, and be exactly what we wish.

Tears of joy are like the summer rain drops pierced by sunbeams.

For a gallant spirit there can never be defeat.

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

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

Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.

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