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.

Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go they merely determine where you start.

Be faithful to that which exists within yourself.

Every heart that has beat strongly and cheerfully has left a hopeful impulse behind it in the world, and bettered the tradition of mankind.

How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains!

Thought is the wind, knowledge the sail, and mankind the vessel.

I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.

The best form of flattery is to be admired, imitated or respected. I've always felt proud our fans look up to us or feel we are inspirational.

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

Change your thoughts and you change your world.
