Never blame another person for your personal choices - you are still the one who must live out the consequences of your choices.

The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind

Just let go. Let go of how you thought your life should be, and embrace the life that is trying to work its way into your consciousness.

When you do not seek or need approval, you are at your most powerful.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.

By far the strongest poison to the human spirit is the inability to forgive oneself or another person. Forgiveness is no longer an option but a necessity for healing.

Grant me the grace to dissolve my negative thoughts about myself today. I breathe the grace of kindness into my heart. And may the grace of healing flow abundantly to every one in need of help.

You cannot change anything in your life with intention alone, which can become a watered-down, occasional hope that you'll get to tomorrow. Intention without action is useless.

There is no such thing as a simple act of compassion or an inconsequential act of service. Everything we do for another person has infinite consequences.

Being of service is not an option, it is a biological necessity. Every kind of action we do for someone is a reanimation of our own life force - and of the other person's.

Self-love means caring for ourselves enough to forgive people in our past so that the wounds can no longer damage us - for our wounds do not hurt the people who hurt us, they hurt only us.

I don't trust people without books or questions.

Take things as they are. Punch when you have to punch. Kick when you have to kick.

When good men die their goodness does not perish.

ObamaCare is creating nothing but misery for everybody.

A person remains immature, whatever his age, as long as he thinks of himself as an exception to the human race.

I think my boys handled it pretty much the same way with their children, but my grandsons all ended up playing football or lacrosse.

End times aren't supposed to be very pretty.

Doesn't matter if the glass is half-empty or half-full. All that matters is that you are the one pouring the water.

He is exactly the poem I wanted to write.

My childhood wasn't very happy. It's a long, grim story about being a Jew in a small southern town.
