You cannot control what happens to you in life, but you can always control what you will feel and do about what happens to you.

The path to God is rarely a steady climb upward. We climb, we fall back, and we climb higher again.

Seek something outside your nine-to-five job as an additional source of fulfillment and as a way to feel the joy of helping others.

The happiest people I know are people who don't even think about being happy. They just think about being good neighbors, good people. And then happiness sort of sneaks in the back window while they are busy doing good.

We are here to change the world with small acts of thoughtfulness done daily rather than with one great breakthrough.

We can endure much more than we think we can; all human experience testifies to that. All we need to do is learn not to be afraid of pain. Grit your teeth and let it hurt. Don't deny it, don't be overwhelmed by it. It will not last forever. One day, the pain will be gone and you will still be there.

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