Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.

What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.

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

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

Be faithful to that which exists within yourself.

I have amazing friends who have led inspirational lives.

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

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

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

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