Everything that happens in life is there to aid our spiritual growth.

I believe it would be considerably healthier for us to dare to live without a reason for many things than with reasons that are simplistic.

I have said I have met Satan, and this is true. But it is not tangible. It no more has horns, hooves and a forked tail than God has a long white beard. Even the name, Satan, is just a name we have given to something basically nameless.

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.

Love always requires courage and involves risk.

Children will, in my dream, be taught that laziness and narcissism are at the very root of human evil, and why this is so. . . . They will come to know that the natural tendency of the individual in a group is to forfeit his or her ethical judgment to the leader, and that this tendency should be resisted. And they will finally see it as each individual's responsibility to continually examine himself or herself for laziness and narcissism and then to purify themselves accordingly.

Commitment is inherent in any genuinely loving relationship.
