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.

Our lives are shaped by those who love us

Each child is sent into this world by God with a "Unique Message" to deliver, a new personal act of love to bestow

Loneliness is the prison of the human spirit. When we are lonely, we pace back and forth in small, shut-in worlds.

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

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.

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