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.

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.

You change your life by changing your heart.

We can change our lives. We can do, have, and be exactly what we wish.

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

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.

Men must live and create. Live to the point of tears.

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