The circumstances of your life have uniquely qualified you to make a contribution. And if you don't make that contribution, nobody else can make it.

Our responding to life's unfairness with sympathy... may be the surest proof of all of God's reality.

Our souls are not hungry for fame, comfort, wealth, or power. Our souls are hungry for meaning, for the sense that we have figured out how to live so that our lives matter.

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

If you concentrate on finding whatever is good in every situation, you will discover that your life will suddenly be filled with gratitude, a feeling that nurtures the soul

We do ourselves and others a disservice when we make old age something to be feared...The longer we live, the more life we possess.

I am convinced that it is not the fear of death, of our lives ending, that haunts our sleep so much as the fear that as far as the world is concerned, we might as well never have lived.
