I know the world is filled with troubles and many injustices. But reality is as beautiful as it is ugly. I think it is just as important to sing about beautiful mornings as it is to talk about slums. I just couldnt write anything without hope in it. – Oscar Hammerstein II
It may seem strange to those in health that our beliefs affect us. The fact is, there is nothing of us but belief. It is the whole capital and stock in trade of man. It is all that can be changed, and embraces everything man has made or ever will make. – Phineas Parkhurst Quimby, 1865
How can we know ourselves? Never by reflection, but only through action. Begin at once to do your duty and immediately you will know what is inside you. – Johann von Goethe
