“To be one, to be united is a great thing. But to respect the right to be different is maybe even greater.”

“Even now one rarely hears of people achieving great things unless they first stumble in some respect.”

“The great difference between the recognized man and the respected man is the difference of head and heart. The recognized man appeals to the head where things are easily forgotten. The respected man captivates the heart. And the heart does not forget.”

“Show respect to all. If you accept that all is undifferentiated oneness, and that all things are merely different aspects of that one thing (but vibrating at different frequencies), then you must respect yourself and everything and everyone around you.”

“I believe we have all been created for greater things than we can comprehend. The times call for great things, but great things in the noblest and most redemptive sense are predicted upon tolerance, love, respect, understanding, dignity, prayer, God.”

“Life is a great surprise. I do not see why death should not be an even greater one.”
