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

We absolutely must battle with every bit of determination we can muster to root out the harm that would warp the souls and spirits of children in our world.

Children are more than we think they are; they can do more than we think they can do. All they need is a vote of confidence from grownups, whom they will ultimately replace anyway. Their dream today will become the realities of tomorrow.

There is nothing to be intimidated about - it's just another long run where a few more people show up and they happen to wear numbers.

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

To be compassionate in this hurting world means it will cost you something.

Joy is a decision, a really brave one, about how you are going to respond to life.
