When love isn't in our lives, it's on the way. If you know that a special guest is coming at five o'clock, do you spend the day messing up the home? Of course not. You prepare. And that is what we should do for love.

If you want to have a nonmiraculous day, I suggest that newspaper and caffeine form the crux of your morning regimen. Listen to the morning news while you're in the shower, read the headlines as you are walking out the door, make sure you're keeping tabs on everything: the wars, the economy, the gossip, the natural disasters. . . But if you want the day ahead to be full of miracles, then spend some time each morning with God.

You will fear the darkness only to the extent that you yourself are not providing light.

You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure about you. We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us.

We don't reach the light through endless analysis of the dark. We reach the light by choosing the light.

If your eyes were open to all the beauty in the world, you would be overwhelmed with joy.

[God is] an all-encompassing love that is the source of all, the reality of all, and the being through which I am.
