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

It is always the simple that produces the marvelous.

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

Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold, happiness dwells in the soul.

Faith is love taking the form of aspiration.

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

As knowledge increases, wonder deepens.

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.

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

Of all human activities, man's listening to God is the supreme act of his reasoning and will.
