We tend to lack humility toward love, to patronize it rather than bow before it, to put mundane considerations before the emotional need to hold someone in our arms.

There is no such thing as a faithless person; we either have faith in the power of love, or faith in the power of fear. For faith is an aspect of consciousness. Have faith in love, and fear will lose its power over you. Have faith in forgiveness, and your self-hatred will fall away. Have faith in miracles, and they will come to you.

If you think there's something you need in order to be happy, then you believe in lack. Then believing you lack, you will create more lack.

We are likely to feel better when we go to bed tonight if we have an internal sense that we spent our lives meaningfully today.

Until you have a child, it's very tempting to look at the state of the world and say, "To hell with it, in 50 years I won't be around anyway." But if you have a child you don't say that, because even if you're not around in 50 years, your children presumably will be, and maybe even their children. You think of yourself as responsible to future generations in a whole different way.

Behind every dark cloud there is an every-shining sun. Just wait. In time, the cloud will pass.
