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

There is nothing stronger in the world than gentleness.

I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.

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

Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy.

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

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

I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.

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