I believe there is an evolutionary impulse toward good that is etched on every human heart. It is placed there by the hand of God.

I can’t say that there are “things” that make me come alive. There are thoughts that make me come alive. Those are thoughts that take me beyond myself; that remind me that there’s a bigger game going on on this planet than simply my own existence; that love works miracles, and how much we need them now.

I try to be self-disciplined with my thoughts. It’s our thoughts that matter most, and all the rest falls into line behind that: if I remember who I really am and why I’m on the earth, then I more naturally want to treat my body like a temple and so forth.

God is the electricity and we are the lamps.

Think of your career as your ministry. Make your work an expression of love in service to mankind.

The love in me salutes the love in you.

I just want to write books or give talks which, if I were in the audience or I were the reader, I would appreciate.
