There's a world of difference between insisting on someone's doing something and establishing an atmosphere in which that person can grow into wanting to do it.

I think it's very important - no matter what you may do professionally - to keep alive some of the healthy interests of your youth. Children's play is not just kids' stuff. Children's play is rather the stuff of most future inventions.

It's a mistake to think that we have to be lovely to be loved by human beings or by God

Our children are extensions of ourselves in ways our parents are not, nor our brothers and sisters, nor our spouses.

We need to help people to discover the true meaning of love. Love is generally confused with dependence. Those of us who have grown in true love know that we can love only in proportion to our capacity for independence.

In appreciating our neighbor, we're participating in something truly sacred.

Love begins with listening.
