We can't control our destiny, but we can control who we become.

How lovely to think that no one need wait a moment, we can start now, start slowly changing the world! How lovely that everyone, great and small, can make their contribution toward introducing justice straightaway... And you can always, always give something, even if it is only kindness!

I long to ride a bike, dance, whistle, look at the world, feel young and know that I'm free, and yet I can't let it show. Just imagine what would happen if all eight of us were to feel sorry for ourselves or walk around with the discontent clearly visible on our faces. Where would that get us?

Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character and goodness.

You must work and should not be lazy if you want to be happy.

An empty day, though clear and bright, Is just as dark as any night.
