Real love is a permanently self-enlarging experience.

When you consider yourself valuable you will take care of yourself in all ways that are necessary.

By far the most important form of attention we can give our loved ones is listening... True listening is love in action.

I define love thus: The will to extend one's self for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth.

When I am with a group of human beings committed to hanging in there through both the agony and the joy of community, I have a dim sense that I am participating in a phenomenon for which there is only one word...."glory."

All my life I used to wonder what I would become when I grew up. Then, about seven years ago, I realized that I was never going to grow up--that growing is an ever ongoing process.

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.
