Love consists in desiring to give what is our own to another and feeling his delight as our own.

Peace has in it trust in the Lord, that He governs all things, provides all things, and leads to a good end.

Heaven is not located on high, but where the good of love is, and this resides within a person, wherever he or she might be.

Worship does not consist in prayers and in external devotion, but in a life of kindness.

True charity is the desire to be useful to others with no thought of recompense.

Make Money a CENTRAL priority. This has nothing to do with greed and consumption and everything to do with life force and power.

For me, food is about memories, feelings, emotions, and so is Le Bernardin, and that's why it's not just a restaurant.

Show me where you spend your time, money and energy and I'll tell you what you worship.

I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me. He said I was being ridiculous - everyone hasn't met me yet.

I think women are often taken for granted.
