Quote

If you could only sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet how important you can be to the people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person.

My friendship with Mitzi was like the friendship that many children have with their pets. My mother and father thought it was good for me to have a dog for a companion. Well it was good for me, but it was only many years after she died that I began to understand how good it was, and why.

Little by little we human beings are confronted with situations that give us more and more clues that we are not perfect.

The world needs a sense of worth, and it will achieve it only by its people feeling that they are worthwhile.

Who you are inside is what helps you make and do everything in life.

Honesty is often very hard. The truth is often painful. But the freedom it can bring is worth the trying.

Real strength has to do with helping others.

Try your best to make goodness attractive. That's one of the toughest assignments you'll ever be given.

Love and trust, in the space between what’s said and what’s heard in our life, can make all the difference in the world.

Feelings about money -- saving and spending, holding back and letting go -- start very early in our lives. Stingy people have often been forced to give when they were very, very young, when they weren't ready. And generous people have often been really appreciated when they were very young.

My hunch is that if we allow ourselves to give who we really are to the children in our care, we will in some way inspire cartwheels in their hearts.

Hopefully your choices can come from a deep sense of who you are.

Anyone who does anything to help a child in his life is a hero to me.

Perhaps we think that we won't find another human being inside that person. Perhaps we think that there are some people in this world who I can't ever communicate with, and so I'll just give up before I try. And how sad it is to think that we would give up on any other creature who's just like us.

I believe it's a fact of life that what we have is less important than what we make out of what we have.

All life events are formative. All contribute to what we become, year by year, as we go on growing. As my friend the poet Kenneth Koch once said, You aren't just the age you are. You are all the ages you ever have been!

Sometimes people are good, and they do just what they should. But the very same people who are good sometimes are the very same people who are bad sometimes. It's funny but it's true. Its the same isn't it, for me and . . .

There are three ways to ultimate success: The first way is to be kind. The second way is to be kind. The third way is to be kind.

Imagine what our real neighborhoods would be like if each of us offered . . . just one kind word to another person.

Forgiveness is a strange thing. It can sometimes be easier to forgive our enemies than our friends. It can be hardest of all to forgive people we love. Like all of life's important coping skills, the ability to forgive and the capacity to let go of resentments most likely take root very early in our lives.

You know, you don't have to look like everybody else to be acceptable and to feel acceptable.
