“Life is just too short to go quail hunting with the wrong people.”

Too many of us now tend to worship self indulgence and consumption.

We’ve got to stop crying and start sweating, stop talking and start walking, stop cursing and start praying. The strength we need will not come from the White House, but from every house in America.

Go out on a limb. That’s where the fruit is.

War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other’s children.

Because we are now running out of gas and oil, we must prepare quickly for a third change, to strict conservation and to the use of … permanent renewable energy sources, like solar power.

Whether the borders that divide us are picket fences or national boundaries, we are all neighbors in a global community.

America has no functioning democracy at this moment.

I have one life and one chance to make it count for something… My faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I am, whenever I can, for as long as I can with whatever I have to try to make a difference.

We can choose to alleviate suffering. We can choose to work together for peace. We can make these changes – and we must.

I’d like to be remembered as someone who was a champion of peace and human rights.

Unless both sides win, no agreement can be permanent.

Communicating our questions, hopes, and fears in prayer makes them-even to ourselves-more open and clear.

The test of a government is not how popular it is with the powerful and privileged few but how honestly and fairly it deals with the many who must depend on it.

We simply must have faith in each other, faith in our ability to govern ourselves, and faith in the future of this Nation. Restoring that faith and that confidence to America is now the most important task we face.

One of our nation’s greatest leaders of all time was Hubert Horatio Hornblower.

We know that a peaceful world cannot long exist, one-third rich and two-thirds hungry.

Life has its own lesson on our foolishness.

You make my life meaningful just by being in it.

Not doing more doesn’t make you any less.

Start Shaky. Start unsure. Start scared. You are writing a brave beginning to this chapter.

You can’t understand anything if you always have a filter of interpretation. 

Always believe that you have so much life to live and so much love to give. 

Everyone experiences the same feeling differently. 

It’s the small things that fill our life with joy everyday.
