My creed is that: Happiness is the only good. The place to be happy is here. The time to be happy is now. The way to be happy is to make others so.

Hope is the only universal liar who never loses his reputation for veracity.

In the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing.

Hope is the only bee that makes honey without flowers.

What light is to the eyes - what air is to the lungs - what love is to the heart, liberty is to the soul of man.
