Joy descends gently upon us like the evening dew, and does not patter down like a hailstorm.

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

Thought is the wind, knowledge the sail, and mankind the vessel.

What great thing would you attempt if you knew you could not fail?

Faith is love taking the form of aspiration.

There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.

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

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 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.

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.
