The bigger your mission becomes, the greater inspiration you will be given.

You cannot increase the length of a day but you can improve the quality of it.

To achieve happiness I advocate four major principles, the principles of love, wisdom, self-reflection, and progress.

You must love beyond the difference of all religions, all nations, and all races. You are originally one.

Examining your thoughts is an important part of the practice of self-reflections

Compassion is the heart that never stops loving others. It is like a wellspring that never runs dry.

The origin of love is the beautiful light of the soul.

Failures and setbacks are a part of this experience, and it will remain in you as wisdom.

To give means to think, every single day, about what you can do to make people happy.

The more I come to recognize my story's place in God's grander Story, my once-bewildered questions are turning to psalms of thanksgiving at the wonder that I have been included in what He is doing.

I think we're much smarter than we were. Everybody knows that abstract art can be art, and most people know that they may not like it, even if they understand there's another purpose to it.

I have absolutely no desire and no thought of quitting ever.

If man were happy, he would be the more so, the less he was diverted, like the saints and God.

You aren't going to win championships unless you make layups and free throws.

You'll always have to deal with bastards, being lied to, deceived, slandered and ridiculed, but that's to be expected and you must thank heaven when you meet the exception.

I train so hard to make sure failure doesn't happen. If I do everything I can, and run as fast as I possibly can and someone still beats me, I don't think of that as failure.

Discovery hapens in the overlap of difference communities... in the clashes of difference.

No matter what happens, you're always going to have those critics and those haters. You just have to learn how to deal with that. I think I have and accept that.
