Do what you can to show you care about other people, and you will make our world a better place.

If you look at suicides, most of them are connected to depression. And the mental health system just fails them. It's so sad. We know what to do. We just don't do it.

There is clearly much left to be done, and whatever else we are going to do, we had better get on with it.

If we have not achieved our early dreams, we must either find new ones or see what we can salvage from the old. If we have accomplished what we set out to do in our youth, we need not weep like Alexander the Great that we have no more worlds to conquer.

Kindness is the connection that links us all together and strengthens the bonds within our communities, neighborhoods, and families.

I believe that one of the most important things to learn in life is that you can make a difference in your community no matter who you are or where you live.

People with mental problems are our neighbors. They are members of our congregations, members of our families; they are everywhere in this country. If we ignore their cries for help, we will be continuing to participate in the anguish from which those cries for help come. A problem of this magnitude will not go away. Because it will not go away, and because of our spiritual commitments, we are compelled to take action.
