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.

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

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

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

Learning how to be still, to really be still and let life happen - that stillness becomes a radiance.

It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.

I have looked into your eyes with my eyes. I have put my heart near your heart.

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

If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome.

There is nothing stronger in the world than gentleness.
