Quote

Kindliness and sympathy, fellowship and understanding, are always good, but best when they come from a distant corner of the world.

I have been dealing with illness and its manifestations since I was a teenager, and I think that gives me a very healthy respect for the things in life we can't control.

I've always thought, and it gets tested at times, that I have a great faith in the fundamental goodness of human beings.

Belief in oneself and knowing who you are, I mean, that's the foundation for everything great.

I think the most that I've learned has been, how do I put this? The innate goodness inside of all of us.

The cure for all the ills and wrongs, the cares, the sorrows, and the crimes of humanity, all lie in the one word 'love'. It is the divine vitality that everywhere produces and restores life.

Nothing said to us, nothing we can learn from others, reaches us so deep as that which we find in ourselves.

In this connection, faith and experience teach us many truths by means of the short-cut of authority and by the proofs of very pleasant and agreeable feelings.

I think we learn the most from imperfect relationships - things like forgiveness and compassion.

Faith, culture, structure and guidance are good things.
