I believe that one defines oneself by reinvention. To not be like your parents. To not be like your friends. To be yourself. To cut yourself out of stone.

As knowledge increases, wonder deepens.

Put your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest acts. This is the secret of success.

I have amazing friends who have led inspirational lives.

It is not ignorance but knowledge which is the mother of wonder.

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

It is always the simple that produces the marvelous.

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

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

What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.
