More quotes by Harold S. Kushner
Prayer is simply coming into the presence of God. Because when you come into the presence of God, even the things you don't have matter a lot less.
Harold S. Kushner
The path to God is rarely a steady climb upward. We climb, we fall back, and we climb higher again.
Harold S. Kushner
The purpose in life is not to win. The purpose in life is to grow and to share. When you come to look back on all that you have done in life, you will get more satisfaction from the pleasure you have brought into other people's lives than you will from the times that you outdid and defeated them.
Harold S. Kushner
Our responding to life's unfairness with sympathy... may be the surest proof of all of God's reality.
Harold S. Kushner
The idea is to find some bit of holiness in everything-food, sex, earning and spending money, having children, conversations with friends. Everything can be seen as a miracle, as part of God's plan. When we can truly see this, we nourish our souls.
Harold S. Kushner
Our society puts too much emphasis on finding someone who will love you our culture focuses too much on being loved and not enough on being a loving person.
Harold S. Kushner
God is like a mirror. The mirror never changes, but everybody who looks at it sees something different.
Harold S. Kushner
Caring about others, running the risk of feeling, and leaving an impact on people brings happiness.
Harold S. Kushner
Good people will do good things, lots of them, because they are good people. They will do bad things because they are human.
Harold S. Kushner
Never attribute to malice or other deliberate decision what can be explained by human frailty, imperfection, or ignorance.
Harold S. Kushner
What cannot be achieved in one lifetime will happen when one lifetime is joined to another.
Harold S. Kushner
When you carry out acts of kindness you get a wonderful feeling inside. It is as though something inside your body responds and says, yes, this is how I ought to feel.
Harold S. Kushner
Our souls are not hungry for fame, comfort, wealth, or power. Our souls are hungry for meaning, for the sense that we have figured out how to live so that our lives matter.
Harold S. Kushner
One man alone can't defeat the forces of evil, but many good people coming together can.
Harold S. Kushner
Integrity is not something that grownups have and adolescents can aspire to. Integrity is something that all of us, at all ages, are constantly striving for.
Harold S. Kushner
Our human bodies are miracles, not because they defy laws of nature, but precisely because they obey them.
Harold S. Kushner
When your life is filled with the desire to see the holiness in everyday life, something magical happens: Ordinary life becomes extraordinary, and the very process of life begins to nourish your soul.
Harold S. Kushner
Many biblical verses are like inkblot tests, revealing more about us than about the text in question.
Harold S. Kushner
Only a life of goodness and honesty leaves us feeling spiritually healthy and human.
Harold S. Kushner
The soul is not a physical entity, but instead refers to everything about us that is not physical - our values, memories, identity, sense of humor. Since the soul represents the parts of the human being that are not physical, it cannot get sick, it cannot die, it cannot disappear. In short, the soul is immortal.
