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

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

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

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

You change your life by changing your heart.

You are always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past.

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.

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

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