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.

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

Tears are often the telescope by which men see far into heaven.

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

What great thing would you attempt if you knew you could not fail?

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

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

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

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

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