Love is the will to extend one's self for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth... Love is as love does. Love is an act of will — namely, both an intention and action.

Until you value yourself, you won’t value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it.

The whole course of life is an exercise in learning to let go.

Mental health is an ongoing process of dedication to reality at all costs.

Problems do not go away. They must be worked through or else they remain, forever a barrier to the growth and development of the spirit.

Life is complex. Each one of us must make his own path through life. There are no self-help manuals, no formulas, no easy answers. The right road for one is the wrong road for another.

Yet it is in this whole process of meeting and solving problems that life has its meaning.

We cannot let our spiritual development depend on others.
