Wonder rather than doubt is the root of all knowledge.

It is not ignorance but knowledge which is the mother of wonder.

Don't let the fear of striking out hold you back.

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

The best form of flattery is to be admired, imitated or respected. I've always felt proud our fans look up to us or feel we are inspirational.

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

Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love.

I believe there's an inner power that makes winners or losers. And the winners are the ones who really listen to the truth of their hearts.
