Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift of God, which is why we call it the present.
Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will live as one.
When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.
Hold fast to dreams,
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird,
That cannot fly.
I like the night. Without the dark, we'd never see the stars.
I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.
It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.
There is some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for.
Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all.
There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, Morrel, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life.
" Live, then, and be happy, beloved children of my heart, and never forget, that until the day God will deign to reveal the future to man, all human wisdom is contained in these two words, 'Wait and Hope.
If you're reading this...
Congratulations, you're alive.
If that's not something to smile about,
then I don't know what is.
The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
