The value of life does not depend upon the place we occupy. It depends upon the way we occupy that place.

Perfect love means putting up with other peoples shortcomings, feeling no surprise at their weaknesses, finding encouragement even in the slightest evidence of good qualities in them.

I give the name violence to a boldness lying idle and enamored of danger.

God does not bestow his spirit on his people in order to set aside the use of his word, but rather to render it fruitful.

Where do you come from? And where are you going? Look up, speak nicely, and don't twiddle your fingers all the time.

Welcome the present moment as if you had invited it. Why? Because it is all we ever have.

It is the enemy you underestimate who kills you.
