You can learn a lesson the first time, when it's presented in a package that is joyous - or at least palatable. But if you don't learn the lesson the first time, then there will be a second time and a third time. And each time it will just get harder and harder.

If you know what changes a heart, you know what changes the world.

When the wisdom of the heart replaces the chatter of the mind, The power of Love flows forth.

The choice to follow love through to its completion is the choice to seek completion within ourselves. The point at which we shut down on others is the point at which we shut down on life. We heal as we heal others, and we heal others by extending our perceptions past their weaknesses. Until we have seen someone’s darkness, we don’t really know who that person is. Until we have forgiven someone’s darkness, we don’t really know what love is. Forgiving others is the only way to forgive ourselves, and forgiveness is our greatest need.

There is no single effort more radical in its potential for saving the world than a transformation of the way we raise our children.

The first step in forgiveness is the willingness to forgive.
