Our past is a story existing only in our minds. Look, analyze, understand, and forgive. Then, as quickly as possible, chuck it.

I have learned from experience that happiness is an acquired skill. Children are one of the greatest lessons in happiness, constantly challenging us to enjoy the moment, as the next one will not be the same. Gratitude is essential to happiness. Every time our children rush up to us and smile, we have something to be happy about; every time we get out of bed and can take a deep breath and go out for a walk, we have something to be happy about-that is the essence of a happy existence. Happiness is a muscle we must use, or it will wither away.

We shouldn’t use our own upset as an excuse for not helping.

Anytime you try to be a loving person, you're doing your part to save the world.

There is no greater gift to future generations than that we do the work God has asked us to do: love one another, that the world might be made right.

A person acting from a motivation of contribution and service rises to such a level of moral authority that worldly success is a natural result.

Attack thoughts towards others are attack thoughts towards ourselves.
