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

Don't let the fear of striking out hold you back.

Every charitable act is a stepping stone toward heaven.

Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.

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

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

How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains!

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.

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

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