“There is a pride in speaking this language.”

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.

An awareness of one’s mortality can lead you to wake up and live an authentic, meaningful life.

You will notice at times that the new life isn’t what you asked for. But asking for specific items or for particular events to occur isn’t how I define prayer.

Love is giving with no expectations…Love cures, heals, and rewards two people: the lover and the beloved.

One’s attitude towards oneself is the single most important factor in healing and staying well.

Live by your experience and do not let limited beliefs alter your life experience.

we are doing God’s work. So God dresses in Eskimo clothing or other disguises, and responds to us whether or not we are aware enough to hear, see, or feel God’s loving guidance. Everything is a tool of God, from DNA to the weather.

When we hate people who hurt us, we come to resemble what we hate, or worse, and then we suffer all the more. What is evil is our response. We have choices, and love is the most powerful eliminator of all.

When you accept that you are not in charge of everything, you can begin to work with the one who really is in charge. This has been my experience; when I accepted that I was not in charge and started to work with someone else’s plan, the Boss showed up.

Act as if you are the person you want to be.

Miracles and angels are a part of our lives, so anticipate them and tune in through your quiet mind.

For me, a lovely day is any day I wake up.

Money, financial matters were to help people, to help them survive, not to have a bigger house or a bigger car and that sort of thing, because I hear that from so many kids, they often don’t know why their father won’t spend more time with them.

Now we are a team and I have less to be concerned about. He organizes my schedule. I just follow it, and when He is taking a day off my wife steps in.

To me, animal communication seemed an insane idea, years ago; but my experience altered my life and my beliefs.

Giving English to an American is like giving sex to a child.

Our book becomes more clear, and nature seems to speak to us in language so like our own, that we easily comprehend it.

Eloquence is the language of nature, and cannot be learned in the schools; but rhetoric is the creature of art, which he who feels least will most excel in.

Bride knoweth bride at the glance of an eye. And between them swiftly passes comfort and meaning in a language that man and widows wot not of.

It is curious that some learned dunces, because they can write nonsense in languages that are dead, should despise those that talk sense in languages that are living.

The whole notion of sanity may be an attempt to medicalize morality – to speak of the good in the language of health: to make us more accurate, more scientific in our wanting – but by the same token it becomes a form of moral blackmail.

When I think about literature, I think about it in the three languages I read easily – English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

I have a few minor rules for myself but I break them all the time. For example, when translating from Romance languages to English, there is often a choice between a Latinate cognate and a Germanic equivalent.
