“All too often, on the long road up, young leaders become servants of what is rather than shapers of what might be.”

Chance comes only to the prepared mind.

“How long are you going to wait before you demand the best for yourself?”

“Do you pray for the Senators, Dr. Hale?” someone asked the chaplain. “No, I look at the Senators and pray for the country.”

I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do.

“If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.”

“Those who refresh others are themselves refreshed.”

“No man can sincerely help another without helping himself.”

It is good to have an end to the journey forward; but it is the journey that matters most in the end.

Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.

Why do we close our eyes when we pray, cry, kiss, or dream? Because the most beautiful things in life are not seen but felt by the heart.

In prayer, it is better to have a heart without words, than words without heart.

It’s a little embarrassing that after forty-five years of research and study, the best advice I can give people is to try to be a little kinder.
