In the end you regret less the things you believed that weren't true than the things that never came true because you didn't believe.

Everything happens for the purpose of what you decide to do about it.

Love thy neighbor, and if it requires that you bend your understanding of the truth, the Truth will understand.

In a dark moment I ask, "How can anyone bring a child into this world?" And the answer rings clear, "Because there is no other world, and because the child has no other way into it."

Charisma is not so much getting people to like you as getting people to like themselves when you're around.

Looking back on a happy life, one realizes that one was not happy all the time.

Each day, awakening, are we asked to paint the sky blue? Need we coax the sun to rise or flowers to bloom? Need we teach birds to sing, or children to laugh, or lovers to kiss? No, though we think the world imperfect, it surrounds us each day with its perfections. We are asked only to appreciate them, and to show appreciation by living in peaceful harmony amidst them. The Creator does not ask that we create a perfect world; He asks that we celebrate it.
