You've got to know what you want. This is central to acting on your intentions. When you know what you want, you realize that all there is left then is time management. You'll manage your time to achieve your goals because you clearly know what you're trying to achieve in your life.

I look at history, there's not a government on the planet I respect. No country in history was ever safe to its women internet sex is $100 billion a year industry, and 15-20 million men a day have sex with a child in sexual slavery.

If you actually are a doctor and admitted it, you'd say, 'I don't cure a huge percentage, I don't have a 50 percent cure rate ... but I can have a 100 percent compassion rate'.

One cannot separate the health of the individual from the health of the community, from the health of the world.

Faith can have a profound impact on health. It is a very personal experience of thought and surrender, which can comfort in every situation. Faith is free and available to all people at all times. It only requires that one fully embrace possibility, and the ultimate value is in the depth of the embrace.
