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

What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.

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

And now, this is the sweetest and most glorious day that ever my eyes did see.

Man never made any material as resilient as the human spirit.

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

I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.

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

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

I have amazing friends who have led inspirational lives.
