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

I arise full of eagerness and energy, knowing well what achievement lies ahead of me.

There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.

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

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

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.

How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains!

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

I am prepared for the worst, but hope for the best.
