Of all human activities, man's listening to God is the supreme act of his reasoning and will.

I arise full of eagerness and energy, knowing well what achievement lies ahead of me.

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

It is only in sorrow bad weather masters us in joy we face the storm and defy it.

As knowledge increases, wonder deepens.

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

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

I am prepared for the worst, but hope for the best.

Be faithful to that which exists within yourself.

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