Remember that in a hall of perfect darkness, totally dark, if you light one small candle, its light will be seen from afar; its precious light will be seen by everyone.

Intolerance lies at the core of evil. Not the intolerance that results from any threat or danger. But intolerance of another being who dares to exist. Intolerance without cause. It is so deep within us, because every human being secretly desires the entire universe to himself. Our only way out is to learn compassion without cause. To care for each other simple because that 'other' exists.

Drink, eat, jump and dance as much as you can stand tonight, but not too much, because you are fifty now.

Because time itself is like a spiral, something special happens on your birthday each year: The same energy that God invested in you at birth is present once again.

We have been conditioned to see the passing of time as an adversary.

We are always rushing to an appointment or trying to meet a deadline.

But time is yet another of God's creations, and as such, it has a life of its own.
