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

If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome.

Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.

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

Look within. Within is the fountain of good, and it will ever bubble up, if thou wilt ever dig.

Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.

Tears of joy are like the summer rain drops pierced by sunbeams.

Noble deeds that are concealed are most esteemed.

We can change our lives. We can do, have, and be exactly what we wish.

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