Every gift from a friend is a wish for your happiness.

Forgiveness … is a gift of high value. Yet its cost is nothing.

I would rather walk with a friend in the dark than walk alone in the light.

You can't lead the people if you don't love the people. You can't save the people, if you don't serve the people.

A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.

Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.

Love comes… when you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable.

The winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators.

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

If you want to look good in front of thousands, you have to outwork thousands in front of nobody.

Muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone.

The great tragedy of life is not that men perish, but that they cease to love.
