We need less posturing and more genuine charisma. Charisma was originally a religious term, meaning "of the spirit" or "inspired." It's about letting God's light shine through us. It's about a sparkle in people that money can't buy. It's an invisible energy with visible effects. To let go, to just love, is not to fade into the wallpaper. Quite the contrary, it's when we truly become bright. We're letting our own light shine.

I don't think of spiritual principle as a struggle. I think of life lived without spiritual principles as a struggle.

The power of nonviolence is not circumstance-specific. It is as applicable to the problems that confront us now, as to problems that confronted generations in the past. It is not a medicine or a solution so much as a healing process. It is the active spiritual immune system of humanity.

I have lived enough to know great things will unfold for me externally only if I allow them to unfold for me internally.

It doesn't take money to turn off the television and cultivate real bonding time.

If we only identify with the mortal world, then we identify with a level of scarcity and lack and brokenness, and that will be our experience.

God cannot do for us what he cannot do through us.
