Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.

Pain nourishes courage. You can't be brave if you've only had wonderful things happen to you.

We turn not older with years, but newer every day.

There’s nothing so kingly as kindness, and nothing so royal as truth.

Optimism is a happiness magnet.

Great necessities call out great virtues.

There are things that are not sayable. That's why we have art.

Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.

They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.

Take a canvas. Put a mark on it. Put another mark on it.

Our real blessings often appear to us in the shape of pains, losses, and disappointments.

If you feel you are in a black hole, don't give up. There's a way out.
