Thank you very much for the quotes of all these inspirational and wonderful people.
Michael Jackson has inspired me with his beautiful lyrics, with his message of Universal and Unconditional Love. He was one of the greates entertainers of our time, but more importantly, he was a Global Humanitarian. He admired very deeply many of the inspirational people listed, most of all JESUS. I kindly request you to add him to the list, please.

Nice Work! Very much enjoyed your Mother Teresa lens that led me to this one. As you may guess, I am very inspired by The Serenity Prayer. I also have a dear 80-something friend. Her advice: "Look for the good."
