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.

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

Man never made any material as resilient as the human spirit.

I have looked into your eyes with my eyes. I have put my heart near your heart.

You are always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past.

You don't look out there for God, something in the sky, you look in you.

Every charitable act is a stepping stone toward heaven.

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

Every moment and every event of every man's life on earth plants something in his soul.

Be faithful to that which exists within yourself.
