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

Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.

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

You change your life by changing your heart.

Every heart that has beat strongly and cheerfully has left a hopeful impulse behind it in the world, and bettered the tradition of mankind.

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