God is not a diversion.

God hopes that we are going to love God back.

I can't control what happens to me, but I can control how I respond to it.

Serve others. The failing recipe for happiness and success is to want the good of others.

Be nice to the whites, they need you to rediscover their humanity.

Out of the cacophony of random suffering and chaos that can mark human life, the life artist sees or creates a symphony of meaning and order. A life of wholeness does not depend on what we experience. Wholeness depends on how we experience our lives.

Love is universal. You don't have to tell somebody that loving is better than hating. You don't have to believe in God to know that stealing is bad. All of God's children and their different faiths help to realize the immensity of God. No faith contains the whole truth about God. And certainly Christians don't have a corner on God. All of us belong to God.
