I've learned that forgiving is one of the greatest gifts that I can give myself.

You dwell in whitened castles with deep and poisoned moats and cannot hear the curses which fill your children's throats.

Hate, it has caused a lot of problems in the world, but has not solved one yet.

Anger is like fire. It burns all clean.

Since time is the one immaterial object which we cannot influence neither speed up nor slow down add to nor diminish it is an imponderably valuable gift.

I believe in living a poetic life, an art full life. Everything we do from the way we raise our children to the way we welcome our friends is part of a large canvas we are creating.

You can't forgive without loving. And I don't mean sentimentality. I don't mean mush. I mean having enough courage to stand up and say, 'I forgive. I'm finished with it.'
