Do things for people not because of who they are or what they do in return, but because of who you are.

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

None of us has the power to make someone else love us. But we all have the power to give away love, to love other people. And if we do so, we change the kind of world we live in.

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.

No good deed ever goes wasted.

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.

Everything that God created is potentially holy, and our task as humans is to find that holiness in seemingly unholy situations. When we can do this, we will have learned to nurture our souls.
