What cannot be achieved in one lifetime will happen when one lifetime is joined to another.

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.

God, who neither causes nor prevents tragedies, helps by inspiring people to help.

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.

Is there an answer to the question of why bad things happen to good people?...The response would be…to forgive the world for not being perfect, to forgive God for not making a better world, to reach out to the people around us, and to go on living despite it all…no longer asking why something happened, but asking how we will respond, what we intend to do now that it has happened.

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.

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