You can have fun with a son, But you got to be a father to a girl.

Why you were born and why you are living depend entirely on what you are getting out of this world and what you are giving to it. I cannot prove that this is a balance of mathematical perfection, but my own observation of life leads me to the conclusion that there is a very real friendship, both quantitatively and qualitatively, between what you contribute and what you get out of life.

You've got to be taught to hate and fear.

Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart.

Some enchanted evening, you may see a stranger Across a crowded room.

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.

I'm not going to run, I'm going to stand here and watch. Every blow will cut into my heart, and tell me who and what you are.
