"Once you realize life is magic, you will never look upon the world with dimmed eyes again."
"The curse that came before history has laid on us all a tendency to be weary of wonders. If we saw the sun for the first time it would be the most fearful and beautiful of meteors. Now that we see it for the hundredth time we call it, in the hideous and blasphemous phrase of Wordsworth, "the light of common day." We are inclined to increase our claims. We are inclined to demand six suns, to demand a blue sun, to demand a green sun. Humility is perpetually putting us back in the primal darkness. There all light is lightning, startling and instantaneous. Until we understand that original dark, in which we have neither sight nor expectation, we can give no hearty and childlike praise to the splendid sensationalism of things."
"Miracles happen quietly every day-in an operating room, on a stormy sea, in the sudden appearance of a roadside stranger. They are rarely tallied. No one keeps score.But now and then, a miracle is declared to the world.And when that happens, things change."
"Every day you play with the light of the universe."
"When a beautiful reality looks unreal, you will realize that the beauty of reality is superior to any dream whatsoever!"
"What if stars were the glimmering tears of a giant, welling in his cheeks, waiting to fall at the first tender stroke of emotion? What if the moon were a wide-open eye gazing down on our tiny, little world and its tiny, little inhabitants as they rush to and fro in pursuit of tiny, little dreams? What if the sun were the glowing heart of a great beast, pumping hot blood to keep him alive while providing warmth for our pitiful world? Ahhh, imagination; it is a wondrous thing!"

"It may not be fair that people make judgments so quickly, usually within a few seconds of observation, but it's unrealistic to expect that they won't. So, if you want to be judged in a certain manner, be sure that your look and demeanor give that impression."
"I wish upon a glimmering star,My hopes as distant and as far. So if this wish does not come true,I'm thankful for the few that do."
"Your body and spirit, subconscious and conscious-every portion of you recognizes home. That is why on the moment of arrival, your entire being relaxes into a contented puddle of joy."
"Thanksgiving is not only being aware of the abundance of good in the world but embracing it."
"For whatever reason, there are people we like and people we don't like. It's hard to say why, and often a difficult opinion to change. Luckily, there's no steadfast rule stating that we must like everyone. But to keep from disliking ourselves, we should develop the good character to treat everyone kindly whether or not we deem them deserving."
"It's silly to think the left eye would envy the right or that one foot would be jealous of the other, and yet so often it is the case."
