True peace can rarely be imposed from the outside; it must be born within and between communities through meetings and dialogue and then carried outward.

To love someone is to show to them their beauty, their worth and their importance.

Love doesn't mean doing extraordinary or heroic things. It means knowing how to do ordinary things with tenderness.

Each person is sacred, no matter what his or her culture, religion, handicap, or fragility. Each person is created in God’s image; each one has a heart, a capacity to love and to be loved.

Community is not an ideal; it is people. It is you and I. In community we are called to love people just as they are with their wounds and their gifts, not as we want them to be.

Growth begins when we start to accept our own weakness

One of the marvelous things about community is that it enables us to welcome and help people in a way we couldn't as individuals.

Those we most often exclude from the normal life of society, people with disabilities, have profound lessons to teach us

Prayer is like a secret garden made up of silence and rest and inwardness. But there are a thousand and one doors into this garden and we all have to find our own.

Love is to recognize that the other person is a person, is precious, is important and has value.

You are the posterity of your family. You are either continuing the progression or regression of your ancestors.

Slumber not in the tents of your fathers. The world is advancing. Advance with it!

I'm really thankful for every experience I've had, even the ones that were puzzling or disorienting, because they taught me so much.

Everything we do should be a result of our gratitude for what God has done for us.

It is time to search out your uniqueness, applaud and acknowledge yourself, and let your own light shine.

I have been able to play a lot of guys and they have kept me working.

Adventure, without it, why live?

For all his sourness, he was ruled by his heart.

Treasures and armies do not make a king. A true king is a king within himself.
