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

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

Great hopes make great men.

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

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

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.

Joy descends gently upon us like the evening dew, and does not patter down like a hailstorm.

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

There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.

Men must live and create. Live to the point of tears.
