We all have that possibility, that potential and that promise of seeing beyond the seeming.

You can ask goodness in, show it how much you like it, make room for it. And it says, "Oh, I like this place, I think I'll stay here." Which is why people go into one house and say, "I want to take my shoes off." At another house, no matter how beautiful it is, they might say, "Hmm, I can't stay."

I will write on the pages of history what I want them to say. I will be myself. I will speak my own name.

Don't get older just to get wiser. If you get older, you will be wiser, I believe that - if you dare. But get older because it's fun!

I'm very blessed that I have a healthy temper. I can become quite angry and burning in anger, but I have never been bitter. Bitterness is a corrosive, terrible acid. It just eats you and makes you sick.

We can learn to see each other and see ourselves in each other and recognize that human beings are more alike than we are unalike.

Lord keep Your arm around my shoulder and Your hand over my mouth.
