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

Change your thoughts and you change your world.

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

Grace is the beauty of form under the influence of freedom.

The glow of one warm thought is to me worth more than money.

I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life - and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.

The only thing that ultimately matters is to eat an ice-cream cone, play a slide trombone, plant a small tree, good God, now you're free.

The truth is on the march and nothing will stop it.
