I wanted you see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand.

You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view.

The book to read is not the one which thinks for you, but the one which makes you think. No book in the world equals the Bible for that.

'Twas strange that one so young should thus concern His brain about the action of the sky; If you think 'twas philosophy that this did, I can't help thinking puberty assisted.

Nothing, no one, is too small to matter. What you do is going to make a difference.

Heartsick, heartbroken - to know love is to know pain. What could be more common? Even so, each broken heart is so singular that with it we probe the divine.

Instead, I have an abundance mentality: When people are genuinely happy at the successes of others, the pie gets larger.
