Tears are often the telescope by which men see far into heaven.

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

How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains!

It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.

Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life's deepest joy: true fulfillment.

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

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

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

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

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