“Your life as a Christian should make non believers question their disbelief in God.”

Being free means being free for the other, because the other has bound me to him. Only in relationship with the other am I free.

The truth of the matter is that the whole world has already been turned upside down by the work of Jesus Christ.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.

Always believe in yourself. No matter who’s around you being negative or thrusting negative energy at you, totally block it off. Because whatever you believe, you become.

I believe in kissing, kissing a lot.

It isn’t enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to believe in it. One must work at it.

God is near you, is with you, is inside you.

I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy.
