"He prayeth best, who loveth best,
All things both great and small;
For the dear God who loveth us,
He made and loveth all."

"Don't think, feel!
It is like a finger pointing away to the moon,
Don't concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory."

"Events in the past may roughly be divided into those which probably never happened and those which do not matter."

"Hold fast to dreams
For if they die;
Life is a broken-winged bird,
that cannot fly."

"Our society's values are being corrupted by advertising's insistence on the equation: Youth equals popularity, popularity equals success, success equals happiness."

"If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man can have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability."

"When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him; and you are torn by the thought of the unhappiness and night you cast, by the mere fact of living, in the hearts you encounter."

"We often refuse to accept an idea merely because the tone of voice in which it has been expressed is unsympathetic to us."

"We are born with two incurable diseases, life, from which we die, and hope, which says may be death isn't the end."

"When you think of the long and gloomy history of man, you will find more hideous crimes have been committed in the name of obedience than have ever been committed in the name of rebellion."

"One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest."

"We can't accommodate terrorism. When someone uses the slaughter of innocent people to advance a so-called political cause, at that point the political cause becomes immoral and unjust, and they should be eliminated from any serious discussion, any serious debate."

"For yesterday is but a dream,
And tomorrow is only a vision,
But today well lived makes,
Every yesterday a dream of happiness,
And every tomorrow a vision of hope,
Look well, therefore, to this day."
