A life of value is not a series of great things well done; it is a series of small things consciously done.

In community we work out our connectedness to God, to one another and to ourselves...In human relationships I learn that theory is no substitute for love. It is easy to talk about the love of GOD; it is another thing to practice it

Precisely because of the greatness of God, we don't have to be great at all. Just in awe.

Grief is a sign that we loved something more than ourselves. . . . Grief makes us worthy to suffer with the rest of the world.

Life is the ability to start over again.

Hope is not a matter of waiting for things outside of us to get better. It is about getting better inside about what is going on outside.

The purpose of leadership is not to make the present bearable. The purpose of leadership is to make the future possible.
