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.

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

When we contact each other, we change each other. We are constantly making each other.

The real gift of love is self disclosure.

A good listener truly wants to know the speaker.

The only love worthy of a name is unconditional.

There is no such thing as a peace of soul approach to religion. It makes of God a gigantic Bayer Aspirin; take God three times a day and you won't feel any pain.
