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

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.

Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.

It is not ignorance but knowledge which is the mother of wonder.

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

Every charitable act is a stepping stone toward heaven.

Great hopes make great men.

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

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

I arise full of eagerness and energy, knowing well what achievement lies ahead of me.
