Love is that condition in the human spirit so profound that it empowers us to develop courage; to trust that courage and build bridges with it; to trust those bridges and cross over them so we can attempt to reach each other.

Here on the pulse of this new day You may have the grace to look up and out And into your sister's eyes, Into your brother's face, your country And say simply Very simply With hope Good morning.

Hope does not take away your problems. It can lift you above them.

Without courage we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency.

If you find it in your heart to care for somebody else, you will have succeeded.

You don't need another person, place or thing to make you whole. God already did that. Your job is to know it.

I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.
