If we nurture the dreams of children, the world will be blessed. If we destroy them, the world is doomed!

Every child you encounter is a divine appointment.

I have become convinced that if God stands a child before you, for even just a minute, it is a divine appointment.

Joy is a decision, a really brave one, about how you are going to respond to life.

Just know this: What you will do among children is as close to the heart of God and central to his kingdom as anything we could mention.

Who creates unless he has a vacuum to fill?

Go forth in every direction- for the happiness, the harmony, the welfare of the many. Offer your heart, the seeds of understanding, like a lamp overturned and re-lit, illuminating the darkness.

What! Get to heaven on your own strength? Why, you might as well try to climb to the moon on a rope of sand!

I have always believed that hair is a very sure index of character.

Fall forward, in your failing, and rise up with a soul on fire!
