Wonder rather than doubt is the root of all knowledge.

Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy.

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

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.

I pray God may preserve your health and life many years.

I have amazing friends who have led inspirational lives.

The meaning I picked, the one that changed my life: Overcome fear, behold wonder.

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

What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.

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