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

For a gallant spirit there can never be defeat.

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.

Everyone here has the sense that right now is one of those moments when we are influencing the future.

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.

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

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

Let us dream of tomorrow where we can truly love from the soul, and know love as the ultimate truth at the heart of all creation.

Hope is some extraordinary spiritual grace that God gives us to control our fears, not to oust them.
