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

You change your life by changing your heart.

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

The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering.

There is nothing stronger in the world than gentleness.

It's inspirational to see someone who is dying smile.

Don't let the fear of striking out hold you back.

Nothing makes one feel so strong as a call for help.

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

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