"It is necessary to hope... for hope itself is happiness."

"I don't think we get answers to every question. We don't get all the whys. But I think when we look back to the end of our lives, if we do the best we can, and we will see that the things we begged God to take from us, the things we cursed him for, the things that made us turn our backs on him, are the things that were the biggest blessings, the biggest opportunities for growth."

"We are flawed creatures, all of us. Some of us think that means we should fix our flaws. But get rid of my flaws and there would be no one left."

"You enhance the beauty of your life by sharpening your awareness and deepening your consciousness."

"A failure establishes only this, that our determination to succeed was not strong enough."

"Life is painful. It has thorns, like the stem of a rose. Culture and art are the roses that bloom on the stem. The flower is yourself, your humanity. Art is the liberation of the humanity inside yourself."

"If you decide not to take action, you are going to fail, and even if you do take action, if you can’t keep up your motivation, you will simply end up back where you started."

"Self consciousness is the ultimate wisdom of life."

"It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop."

"As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives."

"The beautiful journey of today can only begin when we learn to let go of yesterday."

"Be mindful. Be grateful. Be positive. Be true. Be kind."
