We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other’s children.

Spirit is like the wind, in that we can’t see it but can see its effects, which are profound.

Trust is very much a part of our democracy.

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.
