How many of us are happy to be exactly where we are at any moment?...only the completely happy think that they are in the correct place.

I've also long since realized that the way to really engage children is to give out prizes; it's amazing how it concentrates their minds.

Each of us is born into our own mysteries but the mystery of another might just take us in and embrace us. And then what a sense of homecoming, of belonging!

It is sometimes easier to be happy if you don't know everything.

I would certainly never consider myself a Renaissance Man; I'm not fit to look at the dust from the chariot wheels of many of those who have gone before me.

I am easily persuaded to continue to have fun.

Every small wrong, every minor act of cruelty, every act of petty bullying was symbolic of a greater wrong. And if we ignored these small things, then did it not blunt our outrage over the larger wrongs?
