I know the world is filled with troubles and many injustices. But reality is as beautiful as it is ugly. I think it is just as important to sing about beautiful mornings as it is to talk about slums. I just couldn't write anything without hope in it.

Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart, and you'll never walk alone, you'll never walk alone.

Fools give you reasons, wise men never try.

If you really believe in the brotherhood of man, and you want to come into its fold, you've got to let everyone else in, too.

For when I fool the people I fear, I fool myself as well.

Fish got to swim, birds got to fly.

You've got to be taught to be afraid Of people whose eyes are oddly made, Of people whose skin is a different shade. You've got to be carefully taught.
