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

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

Every charitable act is a stepping stone toward heaven.

I have looked into your eyes with my eyes. I have put my heart near your heart.

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

Great hopes make great men.

We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone.

Put your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest acts. This is the secret of success.

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

For a gallant spirit there can never be defeat.
