Tears of joy are like the summer rain drops pierced by sunbeams.

Every heart that has beat strongly and cheerfully has left a hopeful impulse behind it in the world, and bettered the tradition of mankind.

God sleeps in the minerals, awakens in plants, walks in animals, and thinks in man.

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

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

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

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

We can change our lives. We can do, have, and be exactly what we wish.

Nothing makes one feel so strong as a call for help.

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