A man can’t ‘just be friends’ with another woman. Period.

Some people prefer the passenger role, because it imposes no real pressure to decide or stand accountable for their life results.

Those who marry for money end up EARNING it anyway.

When you make changes in your life, make sure you’re moving toward the things you want.

It’s better to be healthy alone than sick with someone else.

Men fall in love with their eyes. Women fall in love with their ears.

I believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn’t need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe everything will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about.

You get to consciously decide what has meaning and what doesn’t. You get to decide what to worship.

Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It’s them twisting it that ruins it for me.

Your talent is God’s gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.

In a mind clear as still water, even the waves, breaking, are reflecting its light.

Learning Zen is a phenomenon of gold & dung. Before you learn it, it’s like gold; after you learn it, it’s like dung.

The wild geese do not intend to cast their reflections. The water has no mind to receive their images.

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

To understand everything is to forgive everything.

I have too much respect for the idea of God to make it responsible for such an absurd world.

Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.

To give pleasure to a single heart by a single kind act is better than a thousand head-bowings in prayer.

I would like to believe there is a God, but I think it is better to say I’m not sure there is a God and live your life with kindness and respect for people than to say I know there is a God and then do bad things,

You believe in a book that has talking animals, wizards, witches, demons, sticks turning into snakes, burning bushes, food falling from the sky, people walking on water, and all sorts of magical, absurd and primitive stories, and you say that we are the ones that need help?

I take the kids to church and Sunday school. They love it. I really think it’s important for a child to feel that there are things that are bigger than your life out there.
