Our deepest human need is not material at all. Our deepest need is to be seen.

We have great power to affect the attitudes and behavior of the people around us, at work and at home. We have the power to set a tone of honor, to create an energy around ourselves that says, 'I respect myself. I respect you. Let's respect each other.'

We can always choose to perceive things differently. You can focus on what's wrong in your life, or you can focus on what's right.

Each time we consider a miracle impossible, or assume that we ourselves are not capable of working it, then we're choosing not to take flight.

Imagine any problem you have to be a huge, locked door standing in front of you. Now see yourself taking a golden key out of your pocket. You brought the key here with you when you arrived on this planet, but you sometimes forget to use it. See yourself putting it into the keyhole, then watch the door swing open. On the key are inscribed these words, "Unconditional Love."

To trust in the force that moves the universe is faith. Faith isn't blind, it's visionary.

We need more than a new politics; what we need is a new worldview. We need a fundamentally different bottom line.
