Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.

No idea is final.

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

The struggle, like life itself, should be joyful.

Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher.

Many are the wonders of the world, and none so wonderful as man.

The greatest reward of righteousness is peace of mind.

Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place.

Grief is the price we pay for love.

The present is the only time in which any duty can be done or any grace received.

Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final.

Aging is an extraordinary process whereby you become the person that you always should have been.
