Help me always to speak the truth quietly, to listen with an open mind when others speak, and to remember the peace that may be found in silence.

If you do not decide to be happy, very few people can make you happy. If you decide to be happy, very few people can make you unhappy.

What the world needs most is openness: Open hearts, open doors, open eyes, open minds, open ears, open souls.

Use the freest goods for happiness... The stars cost nothing. Nature costs nothing. Your inner life costs nothing. God costs nothing. And yet they are all infinitely precious.

Walk through life as a Blessed Person and a Miracle Maker.

Dream always of a peaceful, warless, disarmed world.

When I was a child, I spoke like a child. When I was an adult, I no longer spoke like a child. When I became old and wise, I spoke again like a child. I wish I had spoken all my life like a child.
