We all have the right to be wrong and be loved just the same.

Years ago I heard the Indian Jesuit Raimundo Panikkar say: Expect Nothing.

I'm afraid my glass is no longer half full because I drank most of it.

To insist that I am not forgiven is a kind of inverse arrogance.

Ideals are great as long as they don't get in the way of what we want to do.

Until we can sense a sacred quality in time we will not begin to have a fuller understanding of it.

I feel that the only true security I have is my capacity, however limited, to love.

I think that an act of love is immortal; once tendered, it can never really be taken back.

If there were no nobodies, The somebodies would not have anybody, To convince that they were somebody, Except some other somebody, Who would not be convinced anyway.

Before I can accept someone's help, I must accept their presence.

The man who says that he does not deserve his wife is probably right, but not for the reasons he thinks.

And they had nothing, except of course memories, their own, and those passed down by their mothers and mothers' mothers. A nation's memory.

In times of sorrow, be still.

Sometimes I'll say, "When Sandy Bullock and I were doing Speed - the movie, not the drug." Just in case someone's listening.

We are not what happened to us, we are what we wish to become.

I realised that God has placed Christians everywhere, to support each other, to support the needy in those areas, and that is the thing that I find is a great plus.

Don't curse the darkness, light a candle.

Low care is what we do while on our knees. Smart care is what makes the growing easier.

We are formed by what we desire

I will suffer the agony if that is to be my lot.

I'm very tough on myself. I definitely look at the negative too much.
