Life is going to give you just what you put in it. Put your whole heart in everything you do, and pray, then you can wait.

When you know better you do better.

Each of us has that right, that possibility, to invent ourselves daily.

All God's children need traveling shoes.

At our best, we are all teachers

Raising kids is like nailing Jell-O to a tree.

I do not believe that the accident of birth makes people sisters and brothers. It makes them siblings. Gives them mutuality of parentage. Sisterhood and brotherhood are conditions people have to work at. It's a serious matter. You compromise, you give, you take, you stand firm, and you're relentless...And it is an investment. Sisterhood means if you happen to be in Burma and I happen to be in San Diego and I'm married to someone who is very jealous and you're married to somebody who is very possessive, if you call me in the middle of the night, I have to come.
