If you knew that hope and despair were paths to the same destination, which would you choose?

Take no revenge that you have not pondered beneath a starry sky, or on a canyon overlook, or to the lapping of waves and the mewing of a distant gull.

You can awaken each day to obligations you never chose — or you can decide now to choose them.

If you can wear the hard times of your life as furrows on your brow, you can wear the good times as a twinkle in your eye.

One must look hard through history to find when a clear understanding of the truth moved anyone to fire the first shot.

Often what we take for a kindness is just someone acting in their capacity as a human being.

I've learned never to be surprised if what must inevitably happen happens right now.
