You don't have to be religious to have a soul; everybody has one. You don't have to be religious to perfect your soul; I have found saintliness in avowed atheists.

The soul is not a physical entity, but instead refers to everything about us that is not physical - our values, memories, identity, sense of humor. Since the soul represents the parts of the human being that are not physical, it cannot get sick, it cannot die, it cannot disappear. In short, the soul is immortal.

I believe that God is totally moral, but nature, one of God's creatures, is not moral. Nature is blind.

One of the most sublime experiences we can ever have is to wake up feeling healthy after we have been sick.

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

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

One of the basic needs of every human being is the need to be loved, to have our wishes and feelings taken seriously, to be validated as people who matter.
