I spend half my time comforting the afflicated, and the other half afflicting the comfortable.

But when adults speak up for the vulnerable and the weak, working and demanding that safety and respect prevail, God's little lambs are protected and nourished. They know they are not abandoned; they are loved. And the world becomes a little more like heaven as a result.

If we nurture the dreams of children, the world will be blessed. If we destroy them, the world is doomed!

I’m convinced that one of the most powerful forces on earth is the prayer of a child.

Every child you encounter is a divine appointment.

What’s your cause? Does it move you to tears? What is it that moves you passionately?

Nurturing a child’s sense of personal worth and therefore hope and dreams for a wonderful future is perhaps the most important responsibility of every grownup in a child’s life.
