Many people confuse authority and the power of efficiency, as if the first role of people with responsibility is to take decisions, command effectively and so exercise power. But their role first of all is to be a person to whom others can turn for help and advice, to provide security, to affirm, to support, to encourage and to guide.

I have discovered the value of psychology and psychiatry, that their teachings can undo knots in us and permit life to flow again and aid us in becoming more truly human.

When children are loved, they live off trust; their bides and hearts open up to those who respect and love them, who understand and listen to them.

There is nothing stronger than a heart which loves and is freely given.

Those we most often exclude from the normal life of society, people with disabilities, have profound lessons to teach us

He who is or has been deeply hurt has a RIGHT to be sure he is LOVED.

Love is to recognize that the other person is a person, is precious, is important and has value.
