First best is falling in love. Second best is being in love. Least best is falling out of love. But any of it is better than never having been in love.

Having courage does not mean that we are unafraid. Having courage and showing courage mean we face our fears. We are able to say, 'I have fallen, but I will get up.'

Without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently.

To be left alone on the tightrope of youthful unknowing is to experience the excruciating beauty of full freedom and the threat of eternal indecision. Few, if any, survive their teens. Most surrender to the vague but murderous pressure of adult conformity. It becomes easier to die and avoid conflict than to maintain a constant battle with the superior forces of maturity.

When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not shouting 'I'm saved'. I'm whispering 'I get lost'. That is why I chose this way.

I'm here, and I do my best to be completely centered at the place I'm at, then I go forward to the next place.

Living well is an art that can be developed.
