A real leader is not the top dog who merely shouts down orders. a leader is one who holds the space for the brilliance of others.

In every community, there is work to be done. In every nation, there are wounds to heal. In every heart, there is the power to do it.

The only work that will ultimately bring any good to any of us is the work of contributing to the healing of the world.

As long as we remain vigilant at building our internal abundance—an abundance of integrity, an abundance of forgiveness, an abundance of service, an abundance of love—then external lack is bound to be temporary.

My father's politics were old-fashioned in the sense that he used to say, all the time, "You've got to fight the system!" But my spiritual beliefs have led me to believe that the fight is the problem.

To appeal to God is to appeal to the action of universal love. Love never fails to come when we call to it, but it will always seem to fail us when our bidding is self-centered. The most powerful prayers are simply for God's will to be done, because God's will is healing for all living things.

There cannot be too many glorious women.
