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.

For a gallant spirit there can never be defeat.

Everyone here has the sense that right now is one of those moments when we are influencing the future.

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

And now, this is the sweetest and most glorious day that ever my eyes did see.

I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.

You are always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past.

Every charitable act is a stepping stone toward heaven.

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.

It is always the simple that produces the marvelous.
