I believe in the redemptive death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

You can’t let your failures define you. You have to let your failures teach you.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

Keep exploring. Keep dreaming. Keep asking why. Don’t settle for what you already know. Never stop believing in the power of your ideas, your imagination, your hard work to change the world.

When ignorant folks want to advertise their ignorance, you don't really have to do anything, you just let them talk.

Just because we have the best hammer does not mean that every problem is a nail.

Change is never easy, but always possible.

Don’t ever let anybody tell you that your efforts don’t matter or that your voice doesn’t count. Don’t ever believe that you can’t make a difference. You have.

Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up.

Learning to stand in somebody else's shoes, to see through their eyes, that's how peace begins. And it's up to you to make that happen. Empathy is a quality of character that can change the world.

If somebody is different from you, that's not something you criticize, that's something that you appreciate.

Gabriel: What’s the point of having power, if one cannot use it? What’s the point of immortality, if one cannot truly live?

The silence is death. It comes each day with its shock to sit on my shoulder, a white bird, and peck at the black eyes and the vibrating red muscle of my mouth.

So far as the Angels are recipients of that spiritual heat and light they are loves and wisdoms, not loves and wisdoms for themselves, but from the Lord.

We all dream of things we cannot have.

Without peace, there is nothing truly human. Peace is harmony. And harmony is the highest ideal of life.

A vital force is active in every individual and leads it towards its own evolution.

The thing about narcissistic people is that they don't think they're being narcissistic.

You will never come up against a greater adversary than your own potential, my young friend.

There is no so wretched and coarse a soul wherein some particular faculty is not seen to shine.

Whatever begins to be tranquil is gobbled up by something not tranquil.
