Good families always ritualize the table. You can say, "This is a Christmas meal; this is a birthday meal."

Pay attention to the people God puts in your path if you want to discern what God is up to in your life.

What makes us human is not our mind but our heart, not our ability to think but our ability to love.

For Jesus, there are no countries to be conquered, no ideologies to be imposed, no people to be dominated. There are only children, women and men to be loved.

Dare to love and to be a real friend. The love you give and receive is a reality that will lead you closer and closer to God as well as those whom God has given you to love.

My whole life I have been complaining that my work was constantly interrupted, until I discovered that my interruptions were my work.

In a world so torn apart by rivalry, anger, and hatred, we have the privileged vocation to be living signs of a love that can bridge all divisions and heal all wounds.

The main question is not, how can we hide our wounds...but how can we put our woundedness in service to others.

Some creatures are made to see in the dark.

Even the best things are not equal to their fame.

I can't promise you forever, because that's not long enough.

As the years passed, and I was nine, 10, 11 years old, it became obvious I was going to start up a business of some sort.

The sum of all sums is eternity.

I hate how the people who really get you are the ones you can never hold on to for very long. And the ones who don’t understand you at all stick around.
