Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life's deepest joy: true fulfillment.

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

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

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

The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering.

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

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.

What great thing would you attempt if you knew you could not fail?

It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.

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