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

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.

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.

Those who keep speaking about the sun while walking under a cloudy sky are messengers of hope, the true saints of our day.

Somewhere we know that without silence words lose their meaning, that without listening speaking no longer heals, that without distance closeness cannot cure.

There are endless ways to thank the people who have contributed to your life. Dole out thanks, and your life will bloom.

The framers were realists

A hospital is no place to be sick.

Re-colonizing it and sort of reverse-colonizing it to the point that today the national dish of Great Britain is Chicken Tikka Masala.

Just like every kid who comes into show business on some level, I used to put shows on in my basement. I even started with doing tricks and having a ventriloquist dummy.

Such as the meeting soul may pierce, In notes with many a winding bout Of linked sweetness long drawn out.

The manner of your speaking is full as important as the matter, as more people have ears to be tickled than understandings to judge.

Life is like the stock market. Some days you're up. Some days you're down. And some days you feel like something the bull left behind.

The flip side of happiness is suffering.

The real skill is to raise the sails and to catch the power of the wind as it passes by.
