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.

For a gallant spirit there can never be defeat.

God sleeps in the minerals, awakens in plants, walks in animals, and thinks in man.

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

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

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

Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.

Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life's deepest joy: true fulfillment.

Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.

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