Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.

Love seeks one thing only: the good of the one loved. It leaves all the other secondary effects to take care of themselves. Love therefore is its own reward.

I've always thought that people need to feel good about themselves and I see my role as offering support to them to provide some light along the way.

The wicked leader is he who the people despise. The good leader is he who the people revere. The great leader is he who the people say 'We did it ourselves.'

Don't believe your friends when they ask you to be honest with them. All they really want is to be maintained in the good opinion they have of themselves.

Good actions give strength to ourselves and inspire good actions in others.

If there's any message to my work it is ultimately that it's OK to be different that it's good to be different that we should question ourselves before we pass judgment on someone who looks different behaves different talks different is a different color.

Good breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person.

Just as a mother finds pleasure in taking her little child on her lap there to feed and caress him in like manner our loving God shows His fondness for His beloved souls who have given themselves entirely to Him and have placed all their hope in His goodness.

Men judge us by the success of our efforts. God looks at the efforts themselves.
