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.

Don't let the fear of striking out hold you back.

For a gallant spirit there can never be defeat.

Nothing makes one feel so strong as a call for help.

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

Be faithful to that which exists within yourself.

Every charitable act is a stepping stone toward heaven.

Love and desire are the spirit's wings to great deeds.

Put your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest acts. This is the secret of success.

If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome.
