And now, this is the sweetest and most glorious day that ever my eyes did see.

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

Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.

Man never made any material as resilient as the human spirit.

It is only in sorrow bad weather masters us in joy we face the storm and defy it.

You don't look out there for God, something in the sky, you look in you.

Love and desire are the spirit's wings to great deeds.

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

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

For a gallant spirit there can never be defeat.
