We are all human; therefore, nothing human can be alien to us.

Look heavenward and speak the word aloud. Peace. We look at our world and speak the word aloud. Peace.

Laugh and dare to try to love somebody, starting with yourself. You must love yourself first, of course, and you must protect yourself so that nobody overrides you, overrules you, or steps on you. Just say, 'Just a minute. I'm worth everything, dear.'

The horizon leans forward, offering you space to place new steps of change.

Living well is an art that can be developed: a love of life and ability to take great pleasure from small offerings and assurance that the world owes you nothing and that every gift is exactly that, a gift.

I thank God that I've lived long enough to see what I have seen, and I pray that people will continue to do better. We are doing better, it may not seem so, but there was a time when people were lynched in the middle of the street and it was not against the law. We are doing better, but we have so much more to do.

Laugh...It's the sweetest thing one can do for oneself and one's fellow human beings.
