At the heart of personality is the need to feel a sense of being lovable without having to qualify for that acceptance.

Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can.

I am convinced that nine out of every ten persons seeing a psychiatrist do not need one. They need someone who will love them with God's love...and they will get well.

Everything that is worthwhile in life is scary. Choosing a school, choosing a career, getting married, having kids - all those things are scary. If it is not fearful, it is not worthwhile.

That is what marriage really means; helping one another to reach the full status of being persons, responsible and autonomous beings who do not run away from life.

There are two things we cannot do alone. One is to be married and the other is to be a Christian.

The adventurous life is not one exempt from fear, but on the contrary, one that is lived in full knowledge of fears of all kinds, one in which we go forward in spite of our fears.

Where there is no longer any opportunity for doubt, there is no longer any opportunity for faith either.

Nothing makes us so lonely as our secrets.

To be right is dangerous, it has ever been the source of all intolerance.

Our task is to live our personal communion with Christ with such intensity as to make it contagious.

A straight path never leads anywhere except to the objective.

Find like-minded people and try not to be individualized to the point where you try to fight it all and think about it all on your own.

You're terrific as far as I am concerned.

Engaging in new creative projects keeps me energized. I feel deeply grateful for all of the opportunities that life has given me.

To know each other is the best way to understand each other. To understand each other is the only way to love each other.

A crime is a crime irrespective of the birth marks of the criminal.

I think the driving force when I moved to New York was the fear of going home with my tail between my legs.

I value my privacy and my personal life - and I certainly don't exploit my personal life.

It is a strange trade that of advocacy. Your intellect, your highest heavenly gift is hung up in the shop window like a loaded pistol for sale.

We work with the people not out of pity but out of respect for their potential for growth and development, both as individuals and as communities.
