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

The best form of flattery is to be admired, imitated or respected. I've always felt proud our fans look up to us or feel we are inspirational.

Every charitable act is a stepping stone toward heaven.

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

The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering.

Nurture your minds with great thoughts. To believe in the heroic makes heroes.

Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go they merely determine where you start.

Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life's deepest joy: true fulfillment.

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

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