“I once heard a man say he knew there was a God, he just didn’t think he needed Him. It is nice to take care of yourself and be independent, but it is also nice to know that you have a resource to rely on in times of need.”

Anything that offers hope has the potential to heal.

Consciousness is non-local and does not depend on words to communicate.

Every time I jog through the world, I am awed by what I find. On a winter morning, when it seems too cold and slippery for safe jogging or bicycling, I can still go out and experience the glory of sunlight turning icy branches into strings of sparkling diamonds.

We are here to feel, wonder and gaze in awe at the world. Instead of just teaching our children how to use things and do things, I suggest we nourish their sense of wonder.

I heard that when I had grown up and had no idea of the whole story because the family album had pictures of a covered carriage and my mother smiling so I assumed I was asleep.

I would never have had if I’d been fool enough to make them do what I thought they should do.

Feel your feelings. What you bring forth will save you.

Remember this: Now is the only time you have. When God created the universe, it was now. You can’t say to creation and energy, “I’ll do it later, not now.” Later doesn’t exist. Creation doesn’t know anything but now.

Having pets in the house helps everyone have a reverence for life.

The other great tonic for the immune system is love—loving ourselves as well as others.

Whenever you get around to doing what you want to do, it will be now. The things you need to do to live a happier, more fulfilling life-the only time you can possible start doing them is now.

Most of us never stop to consider our blessings; rather, we spend the day only thinking about our problems. But since you have to be alive to have problems, be grateful for the opportunity to have them.

I am not talking about selfishness or self-interest. When I ask, What will make you happy?, I mean, What way of loving others feels right for you? Choose a way of loving that makes you happy, and your efforts will be play rather than work.

A surgeon is surrounded by people who are sick, discouraged, afraid, embittered, dying – but also courageous, loving, wise, compassionate and alive.

It’s not about curing the disease, but healing the life; then the physical benefits come.

What I try to get physically healthy people to understand is that they’re going to die someday. There is no way out. And dying isn’t failure, but not living is, so make use of your time. Don’t keeping waiting.

I do know the older I get, the more I’m referencing music I heard as a kid.

I do understand that you can look into someone’s eyes,” I heard myself saying, “and suddenly know that life will be impossible without them.

I’d never heard anything like the way he played-not in Chicago, no place. The tone-he had this wonderful, ringing cornet tone. He could have played in a symphony orchestra with that tone. But also the intervals he played, the figures-whatever the hell he did.

Listening to his songs she heard nothing but bad news, still she made her mind up to try to get him win or lose.

In the silence, hear what can’t be heard.

The cruelest lies are often told without a word The kindest truths are often spoken, never heard

I once heard some idiot on the radio saying that all great art has suffering as its dominant theme, and that the greatest artists are only able to create because they suffer immensely in their own lives. What a bunch of bullshit.

When truth and reason cannot be heard, then must presumption rule.
