God is the light shining in the midst of darkness, not to deny that there is darkness in the world but to reassure us that we do not have to be afraid of the darkness because darkness will always yield to light. As theologian David Griffin puts in, God is all-powerful, His power enables people to deal with events beyond their control and He gives us the strength to do those things because He is with us.

God is like a mirror. The mirror never changes, but everybody who looks at it sees something different.

When you are kind to others, it not only changes you, it changes the world.

One of the sages of the Talmud taught nearly 200 years ago that God could have created a plant that would grow loaves of bread. Instead He created wheat for us to mill and bake into bread. Why? So that we could be HIs partners in completing the work of creation.

Fun can be the dessert of our lives but never its main course.

Never attribute to malice or other deliberate decision what can be explained by human frailty, imperfection, or ignorance.

You don't become happy by pursuing happiness. You become happy by living a life that means something.
