How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains!

Every charitable act is a stepping stone toward heaven.

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

Wonder rather than doubt is the root of all knowledge.

The best form of flattery is to be admired, imitated or respected. I've always felt proud our fans look up to us or feel we are inspirational.

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.

It is always the simple that produces the marvelous.

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

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

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