love builds up the broken walland straigtens the crooked path.love keeps the stars in the firmament and imposes rhythm on te ocean tideseach of us is created of itand i suspecteach of us was created for it

If you have only one smile in you, give it to the people you love. Don't be surly at home, then go out in the street and start grinning 'Good morning' at total strangers.

We may act sophisticated and worldly but I believe we feel safest when we go inside ourselves and find home, a place where we belong and maybe the only place we really do.

I am convinced that words are things, and we simply don't have the machinery to measure what they are. I believe that words are tangible things...

Even in the mud and scum of things, something always, always sings.

There is something which you can do better than another. Listen to the inward voice and bravely obey that. Do the things at which you are great, not what you were never made for.

Be yourself; no base imitator of another, but your best self.

This world belongs to the energetic.

I believe everything is energy. I believe that the meal you serve yourself, you prepare, is energy. And if you serve it to your family, it's your gift of energy to them.

Shakespeare - I was very influenced - still am - by Shakespeare. I couldn't believe that a white man in the 16th century could so know my heart.

I believe that each of us comes from the Creator trailing wisps of glory.

Sorrow looks back, worry looks around, faith looks up.

Do the thing and you will have the power.

Give and it shall be given you.

Great men exist that there may be greater men. 

Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.

Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.

Hitch your wagon to a star.

The truth is you never can leave home. You take it with you everywhere you go. It's under your skin. It moves the tongue or slows it, colors the thinking, impedes upon the logic.

I do not think of myself as unusually creative. I think we all come from the creator, each human being streaming with the glory. So each one of us is creative.

I made the decision to quit show business. Give up the skintight dresses and manicured smiles. The false concern over sentimental lyrics. I would never again work to make people smile inanely and would take on the responsibility of making them think.

Original thinking migrates each day in search of nourishment.

Some of us are timid. We think we have something to lose so we don't try for that next hill.

Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.
