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

The only thing that ultimately matters is to eat an ice-cream cone, play a slide trombone, plant a small tree, good God, now you're free.

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

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

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.

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

How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains!

Let us dream of tomorrow where we can truly love from the soul, and know love as the ultimate truth at the heart of all creation.

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

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