Courage is not simply one of the virtues but the form of every virtue at the testing point.

Forgiveness … is a gift of high value. Yet its cost is nothing.

My only advice is to stay aware, listen carefully, and yell for help if you need it.

I felt it shelter to speak to you.

Love... is the honoring of others in a way that grants them the grace of their own autonomy.

It isn't just talent. You have to have something else. You have to have a kind of nerve.

The simple act of paying attention can take you a long way.

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

Open to whatever you experience without fighting. Let it be present just as it is. Let go of the battle.

I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving.

To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's.

The great tragedy of life is not that men perish, but that they cease to love.
