A Jewish grandmother is watching her grandchild playing on the beach when a huge wave comes and takes him out to sea. She pleads, 'Please God, save my only grandson. I beg of you, bring him back.' And a big wave comes and washes the boy back onto the beach, good as new. She looks up to heaven and says: 'He had a hat!'

Let your children go if you want to keep them.

In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.

Faith is not believing God can; it's believing God will.

The great use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.

Perform every act in life as if it were your last.

The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a glowing depth, beauty and joy ... This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing, it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of Divine accident.

We do not want the peace of slaves nor the peace of the grave.

Seek justice from tyrannical governments not with your hat in your hands but with a rifle in your fist.

I want to die a slave to principles, not to men.
