“I want to live my life in such a way that when I get out of bed in the morning, the devil says, “aw shit, he’s up!”

“How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a weary world.”

“You’ve a good heart. Sometimes that’s enough to see you safe wherever you go. But mostly, it’s not.”

“Life becomes easier and more beautiful when we can see the good in other people.”

“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it–always.”
