It makes no difference how many peaks you reach if there was no pleasure in the climb.

Life is a climb and it's a struggle getting to the top but the drop to the bottom can be quick and so I think you have to embrace every moment of the day.

Difficulties break some men but make others. No axe is sharp enough to cut the soul of a sinner who keeps on trying, one armed with the hope that he will rise even in the end.

The path of those who preach love, and not hatred, is not easy. They often have to wear a crown of thorns.

Instead of cursing the darkness, light a candle for where we're going. There's something ahead worth fighting for.

I must admit to you that there are still jail cells waiting for us, and dark and difficult moments. But if we will go on with the faith that nonviolence and its power can transform dark yesterdays into bright tomorrows, we will be able to change all of these conditions.
