Every virtuous act has some Dark secret in its heart; every risk we take contains a mystery that can’t be solved.

We live on because we can love, and we love because we can forgive.

There's a kind of luck that's not much more than being in the right place at the right time, a kind of inspiration that's not much more than doing the right thing in the right way, and both only really happen to you when you empty your heart of ambition, purpose, and plan; when you give yourself, completely, to the golden, fate-filled moment.

The choice you make, between hating and forgiving, can become the story of your life.

but there's no nation uncorrupted. there's no system that's immune to the misuse of money.

The cloak of the past is cut from patches of feeling ,and sewn with rebus threads.Most of the time , the best we can do is wrap it around ourselves for comfort or drag it behind us as we struggle to go on .

Anything that can be put in a nut shell should remain there.
