When you make up your mind to forgive, your happiness will almost automatically follow.

What you have suffered after you have healed will make perfect sense. You will be able to smile at how you overcome the tears of pain.

When you forgive, it does not mean that you have submitted, it simply means that you have made a choice to stop bearing any grudge.

You are the custodian of your own happiness. What other people say, do or think does not create a basis for your happiness. It is you who decides your own happiness, just like forgiveness.

The heart is where the journey of forgiveness begins.

Locking ourselves in the situation where we wish for sympathy and want to be looked at as the aggrieved party normally makes us powerless.

The idea of forgiveness is a journey that requires patience. If the journey of forgiveness is well travelled, there is a chance that we are bound to change in a very helpful way.

Sometimes we are very convinced that what we went through needs to be re-lived so we end up going back and forth to the demons of the past and eventually we fail to get over them.

Forgiveness does not change the past, that’s for sure, but it does change the future.

The minute we put aside our self-righteousness and move away from being the aggrieved, then we are on a healing process.

Stately, kindly, lordly friend Condescend Here to sit by me.

Ninety-nine per cent of what we say is about values. I firmly believe that ethical capitalism is the best way of changing society for the better.

Things change and work changes. Right now I like the idea of enveloping a space and getting messages across that connect to the world in ways that seem familiar but are different.

Say whatever your memory suggests is true; but add nothing and exaggerate nothing.

Tell me a story, Pew. What kind of story, child? A story with a happy ending. There’s no such thing in all the world. As a happy ending? As an ending.

Vice, in its true light, is so deformed, that it shocks us at first sight; and would hardly ever seduce us, if it did not at first wear the mask of some virtue.

I don't get asked a lot of questions about science and the Bible, for example. Probably people just know I'm not very smart and I don't have an answer to those anyway.
