I think our people in Britain have a normative expectation of ethical conduct.

Some years ago there was a study to discover the most stressful occupation. It turned out not to be the head of a large business, football manager or prime minister, but rather: bus driver.

In our interconnected world, we must learn to feel enlarged, not threatened, by difference - that is what I have argued.

Make space in your life for the things that matter, for family and friends, love and generosity, fun and joy. Without this, you will burn out in mid-career and wonder where your life went.

No great achiever - even those who made it seem easy - ever succeeded without hard work.

When money rules, we remember the price of things and forget the value of things, and that is dangerous.

I believe faith is not certainty but the courage to live with uncertainty.

Science takes things apart to see how they work. Religion puts things together to see what they mean.

The supreme religious challenge is to see God’s image in one who is not in our image.

In your sky, you are the brightest star.Without you light, it’s dark like tar.So love yourself to enlighten others.

A little care and a dash of creativity can transform the simplest items into great expressions of love.

I'm a frotteur, someone who likes to rub words in his hand, to turn them around and feel them, to wonder if that really is the best word possible.

So, let us not be blind to our differences - but let us also direct attention to our common interests and to the means by which those differences can be resolved.

I went out to dinner with a Marine last weekend. He looked across the table and he goes, "I could kill you in seven seconds." I go, "I'll just have toast, then."

Hello, Edward. I've been waiting for you.

Everything passes. Joy. Pain. The moment of triumph; the sigh of despair. Nothing lasts forever - not even this.
