Genuine love is volitional rather than emotional.

Life is complex. Each one of us must make his own path through life. There are no self-help manuals, no formulas, no easy answers. The right road for one is the wrong road for another...The journey of life is not paved in blacktop; it is not brightly lit, and it has no road signs. It is a rocky path through the wilderness.

It is only because of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually.

If we know exactly where we're going, exactly how to get there, and exactly what we'll see along the way, we won't learn anything.

Although the act of nurturing another's spiritual growth has the effect of nurturing one's own, a major characteristic of genuine love is that the distinction between oneself and the other is always maintained and preserved.

We cannot be a source for strength unless we nurture our own strength.

Doubt is often the beginning of wisdom.
