Gratitude flows from the recognition that who we are and what we have are gifts to be received and shared.

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.

You don't think your way into a new kind of living. You live your way into a new kind of thinking.

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.

O Lord, make this Lenten season different from the other ones. Let me find you again. Amen.

I always felt that a scientist owes the world only one thing, and that is the truth as he sees it.

My first car was a BMW. A white BMW.

So, if you're doing good longform with talented people than you can step out and you can be the president or a construction worker and people accept that. It's really the roles you give yourself.

When mind is quiet, all is Self. When mind moves the world arises. So be Still, throw away everything and be Free.

Some have said there is no subtlety to destruction. You know what? They're dead.

physical beauty should have no importance in a lasting relationship.

In the same degree in which a man's mind is nearer to freedom from all passion, in the same degree also is it nearer to strength.

Prayer is naught but a rising desire of the heart into God by withdrawing of the heart from all earthly thoughts.
