After a quarter of a century of personal experience and professional observation, I have come to understand that peace of mind is the true goal of the considered life. I know now that the sum of all other possessions does not necessarily add up to peace of mind; on the other hand, I have seen this inner tranquility flourish without the material supports of property or even the buttress of physical health. Peace of mind can transform a cottage into a spacious manor hall; the want of it can make a regal residence an imprisoning shell.

God hears no sweeter music than the cracked chimes of the courageous human spirit ringing in imperfect acknowledgement of His perfect love.

Self-understanding rather than self-condemnation is the way to inner peace and mature conscience.

We are the carriers of health and disease - either the divine health of courage and nobility or the demonic diseases of hate and anxiety

We achieve inner health only through forgiveness - the forgiveness not only of others but also of ourselves.

There is too much undissolved wrath and punishment in most religions.

Tolerance is the positive and cordial effort to understand another's beliefs, practices, and habits without necessarily sharing or accepting them.
