As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision.

Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.

Once I knew only darkness and stillness... my life was without past or future... but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the rapture of living.

It's wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky. Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears.

Life is either a great adventure or nothing.

Knowledge is love and light and vision.

I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace.

As the eagle was killed by the arrow winged with his own feather, so the hand of the world is wounded by its own skill.

When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.
