God is a tremendous supporter of creation, especially of all living beings.

We rarely think of the air we breathe, yet it is in us and around us all the time. In similar fashion, the presence of God penetrates us, is all around us, is always embracing us.

The chief thing that separates us from God is the thought that we are separated from God.

God's first language is Silence. Everything else is a translation.

God will bring people and events into our lives, and whatever we may think about them, they are designed for the evolution of His life in us.

For human beings, the most daunting challenge is to become fully human. For to become fully human is to become fully divine.

If one completes the journey to one's own heart, one will find oneself in the heart of everyone else.

Perhaps the shortest and most powerful prayer in human language is help.

The acceptance of all that God has given us and the willingness to let it go - to give it back to him at a moment's notice - that's true human freedom.

You should not take prayer too seriously. There is something playful about God. You only have to look at a penguin ... to realize that He likes to play little jokes on creatures.

What I really wanted was to fall in love with God. It's amazing what obstacles there are within us, or at least in me, that seem to slow this process.

There will always be a pain in 'goodbyes'. No matter how much we seem to understand everything, it breaks our hearts to ever see anything beautiful die.

What's the meaning of goodness if there isn't a little badness to overcome?

A mother's sorrow is more true, honorable, and beautiful than the detachment of the sage.

Tranquil pleasure constitutes human beings' supreme good

Art is skill, that is the first meaning of the word.

We are never prepared for what we expect.

I feel a little like Rod Tidwell from Jerry Maguire

I blend my green drink every morning. I also fix my son a full-on American breakfast with bacon and toast.

I've had such a great time, I'd like to come back as me - and do it all over again.

The power of people, when they focus on something positive, never fails to amaze me.
