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.

Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.

You change your life by changing your heart.

Love and desire are the spirit's wings to great deeds.

Change your thoughts and you change your world.

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

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.

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.

You are always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past.
