Prayer is simply coming into the presence of God. Because when you come into the presence of God, even the things you don't have matter a lot less.

People are so busy chasing happiness- if they would slow down and turn around, they would give it a chance to catch up with them.

If we put our soul into our work, if, rather than just going through the motions, what we do flows from the deepest part of our being, then after a burst of creativity, we need to replenish our souls.

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.

Life is like the baseball season, where even the best team loses at least a third of its games, and even the worst team has its days of brilliance. The goal is not to win every game but to win more than you lose, and if you do that often enough, in the end you may find you have won it all.

Only a life of goodness and honesty leaves us feeling spiritually healthy and human.

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