For a gallant spirit there can never be defeat.

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

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

Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love.

And now, this is the sweetest and most glorious day that ever my eyes did see.

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

Of all human activities, man's listening to God is the supreme act of his reasoning and will.

Change your thoughts and you change your world.

Great hopes make great men.

Joy descends gently upon us like the evening dew, and does not patter down like a hailstorm.
