I said in an interview at the time that God's job is not to make sick people healthy. That's the doctors' job. God's job is to make sick people brave.

In all my years of counselling those near death, I've yet to hear anyone say they wish they had spent more time at the office

Forgiveness is a favor we do for ourselves, not a favor we do to the other party.

We don't have to be afraid of dying because it's not really death that scares us. We are afraid of not having lived.

There is a Jewish notion that holiness is found with other people. To understand what life really is, one has to share it.

Good people will do good things, lots of them, because they are good people. They will do bad things because they are human.

Think about it: it is easy to see God's beauty in a glorious sunset or in ocean waves crashing on a beach. But can you find the holiness in a struggle for life?
