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

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

What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.

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

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

Nurture your minds with great thoughts. To believe in the heroic makes heroes.

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.

Grace is the beauty of form under the influence of freedom.

I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.

Change your thoughts and you change your world.
