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

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

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.

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.

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

...while God has done his part in creating a world capable of providing what we need, we have not done our part in the stewardship of it, in seeing that it gets to the end of the line, to the poorest and neediest--the children.

I have become convinced that if God stands a child before you, for even just a minute, it is a divine appointment.
