The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart

It is better to be happy for a moment and be burned up with beauty than to live a long time and be bored all the while.

What does this beauty or than music mean to you? You cannot see the waves rolling up the beach or hear their roar. What do they mean to you?' In the most evident sense they mean everything. I cannot fathom or define their meaning any more than I can fathom or define love or religion or goodness.

All the farmers brought their best this and their best that. They elected a beauty queen, and she reigned over the whole thing. They had a pretty baby contest, and that brought out a whole lot of people.

The world is moved not only by the mighty shoves of the heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker.

No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit.
