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.

You have a unique message to deliver, a unique song to sing, a unique act of love to bestow. This message, this song, and this act of love have been entrusted exclusively to the one and only you.

The real gift of love is self disclosure.

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

Love is not a feeling to be felt, it's an action to be learned.

Our lives are shaped by those who love us

Growth is always a gradual process, a bridge slowly crossed and not a corner sharply turned.
