I believe that each of us comes from the Creator trailing wisps of glory. So at this wonderful, young age of 65, I don't know yet what the Lord has for me to do. I try to live up to the energy and to the calling, but I wouldn't dare say I have even scratched the surface yet.

You are the sum total of everything you've seen, heard, eaten, smelled, been told, forgot- it's all right there.

I encourage courtesy. To accept nothing less than courtesy, and to give nothing less than courtesy. If we accept being talked to any kind of a way, then we are telling ourselves we are not quite worth the best. And if we have the effrontery to talk to anybody with less than courtesy, we tell ourselves and the world we are not very intelligent.

I think a number of the leaders are, whether you like it or not, in the hip-hop generation. And when they understand enough, they'll do wonders. I count on them.

I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.

Age is nothing; waking up is everything.

When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed.
