Almost anything can be dealt with if people are of good will and light hearts and strong values.

I often say that I don't worry about the meaning of life-I can't handle that big stuff. What concerns me is the meaning in life-day by day, hour by hour, while I'm doing whatever it is I do. What counts is not what I do, but how I think about myself while I'm doing it.

Sometimes history knocks at the most ordinary door to see if anyone is home. Sometimes someone is.
Robert Fulghum
Image
To ponder is not to brood or grieve or even meditate. It is to wonder at a deep level.

If dandelions were rare and fragile, people would knock themselves out to pay $14.95 a plant, raise them by hand in greenhouses, and form dandelion societies and all that. But, they are everywhere and don't need us and kind of do what they please. So we call them weeds and murder them at every opportunity

I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge.

If you tell people you talk to God, they'll think you're religious, but if you say God talks to you, it's ten to one they'll think you're crazy.

It doesn’t matter what you say you believe - it only matters what you do.

It wasn’t in books. It wasn’t in a church. What I needed to know was out there in the world.
