Henry Ward Beecher

We should not judge people by their peak of excellence; but by the distance they have traveled from the point where they started.

Good nature is worth more than knowledge, more than money, more than honor, to the persons who possess it.

The sun does not shine for a few trees and flowers, but for the wide world's joy.

I've had people following me home or standing outside my house. It's strange. I just don't think people were meant to be worshipped or idolised.

They said I couldn't play anything but an English boy. I knew I could. So I went to New York.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.
