When I forgive other people, I let them go, I free them from my ignorance. And as soon as I do, I feel lighter, brighter and better.

I am a child of God. I always carry that with me.

Whether you are happy or whether you are sad, it is wise to remember you are really in process.

Age is nothing; waking up is everything.

But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams.

I am convinced that courage is the most important of all the virtues. Because without courage, you cannot practice any other virtue consistently. You can be kind for a while; you can be generous for a while; you can be just for a while, or merciful for a while, even loving for a while. But it is only with courage that you can be persistently and insistently kind and generous and fair.

I encourage courtesy. To accept nothing less than courtesy, and to give nothing less than courtesy.
