There is nothing stronger in the world than gentleness.

Every charitable act is a stepping stone toward heaven.

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

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.

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

Joy descends gently upon us like the evening dew, and does not patter down like a hailstorm.

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

Wonder rather than doubt is the root of all knowledge.

Everyone here has the sense that right now is one of those moments when we are influencing the future.

Change your thoughts and you change your world.
