Love chooses to believe the best about people. It gives them the benefit of the doubt. It refuses to fill in the unknowns with negative assumptions. And when our worst hopes are proven to be true, love makes every effort to deal with them and move forward. As much as possible, love focuses on the positive.

Esteem intelligence, cherish knowledge, and value understanding, but trust wisdom.

A ship that sails without a compass will get lost at sea.

The sin underneath all our sins is to trust the lie of the serpent that we cannot trust the love and grace of Christ and must take matters into our own hands

The chances you take… the people you meet… the people you love...the faith that you have - that's what's going to define your life.

Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it.

What the heart loves, the will chooses, and the mind justifies.

To love is to be vulnerable.

There can be no deep disappointment where there is not deep love.

Because of a great love, one is courageous.

Replace your judgments with empathy, upgrade your complaining to gratitude and trade in your fear for love.

Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.
