If we give our children sound self-love, they will be able to deal with whatever life puts before them.

I think stress is anything going on in our lives that impinges on our capacity to have optimum well being.

Wars make people rich - and they make a lot of people poor, and they take a lot of people's lives away from them.

Reviewing the literature on love I noticed how few writers, male or female, talk about the impact of patriarchy, the way in which male domination of women and children stands in the ways of love.

A generous heart is always open, always ready to receive our going and coming. In the midst of such love we need never fear abandonment. This is the most precious gift true love offers - the experience of knowing we always belong.

To truly love we must learn to mix various ingredients - care, affection, recognition, respect, commitment, and trust, as well as honest and open communication.

Because we have learned to believe negativity is more realistic, it appears more real than any positive voice.
