Nothing will work unless you do.

We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.

Nothing can dim the light which shines from within.

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Every time we get slapped down, we can say, Thank you Mother Nature, because it means we're about to learn something important.

Only love and courage will make this world a safer place. Hatred and fear will make it more dangerous.

Man, who don't like spaghetti?
