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

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

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

It's inspirational to see someone who is dying smile.

Change your thoughts and you change your world.

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

Every charitable act is a stepping stone toward heaven.

The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering.

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

Let us dream of tomorrow where we can truly love from the soul, and know love as the ultimate truth at the heart of all creation.
