There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.

As knowledge increases, wonder deepens.

What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Nurture your minds with great thoughts. To believe in the heroic makes heroes.
