Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go they merely determine where you start.

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

Man never made any material as resilient as the human spirit.

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

We can change our lives. We can do, have, and be exactly what we wish.

I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life - and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.

I have looked into your eyes with my eyes. I have put my heart near your heart.

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

There is nothing stronger in the world than gentleness.

Change your thoughts and you change your world.
