I have a very strong feeling that the opposite of love is not hate - it's apathy. It's not giving a damn.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Don't spend your precious time asking "Why isn't the world a better place?" It will only be time wasted. The question to ask is "How can I make it better?" To that there is an answer.

Love yourself-accept yourself-forgive yourself-and be good to yourself, because without you the rest of us are without a source of many wonderful things.

The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position.

Relish love in your old age! Aged love is like aged wine; it becomes more satisfying, more refreshing, more valuable, more appreciated and more intoxicating!

Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong.

The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another's, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises.

Everybody needs a hug. It changes your metabolism.

Life is uncharted territory. It reveals its story one moment at a time.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch.

Love is not a place to wander. Love is a feeling to deeply appreciate and enjoy.

I am very glad indeed to see you to-night, and yet I will not say I thank you for this call, but I do most sincerely thank Almighty God for the occasion on which you have called.

Balance every thought with its opposition. Because the marriage of them is the destruction of illusion.

Instead of asking, “what do I want from life?,” a more powerful question is, “what does life want from me?

Show me a liar, and I'll show you a thief.

A broken life in the hands of God is ripe for blessing.

Most people here don't have a wide emotional range. It's just the type of people astronauts are, they're required to be level.

Emotions are the natural substances of the soul ... and when we think we can't handle the emotions, we lose the natural substances of the soul and begin looking for substances to replace the flow.

It's tiny out there...it's inconsequential. It's ironic that we had come to study the Moon and it was really discovering the Earth.

I usually have poor to absent relations with editors because they have a habit of desiring changes and I resist changes.
