A person can grow only as much as his horizon allows.

We cannot "psychologize" the grace of God. God's actions are outside and above our human sciences.

It is essential that our love be liberating, not possessive. We must at all times give those we love the freedom to be themselves. Love affirms the other as other. It does not possess and manipulate another as mine.

If you knew me yesterday, please do not think that it is the same person that you are meeting today.

Human beings, like plants, grow in the soil of acceptance, not in the atmosphere of rejection.

You just don't make decisions about what you're going to be like when you are old. I know that I am making that decision right now. Every time we perceive ourselves, others, life, the world and God in a certain way, we are deepening the habits that will take over in old age. Every time I act on the insights that I am getting now I am deciding my future and choosing to be a kindly or cynical old man. Our yesterdays lie heavily upon our todays and our todays will lie heavily upon our tomorrows.

He who has no inclination to learn more will be very apt to think that he knows enough.
