“What we speak becomes the house we live in.”

“The words you speak become the house you live in.”

“It is not what we get. But who we become, what we contribute ... that gives meaning to our lives.”

“The names of persons and living creatures demand respect, because when we speak to them we touch their heart and become a part of thier life force.”

“So many television marriages -that playing out of lives against a background of the tube.Instead of two lives filing the room,There are their two lives and the eleven o'clock news withConstant commercial interruption.Instead of what you say and what I say.You don't laugh with me;I don't laugh with you.All the wit comes pouring out of the tube.And we laugh at it together.The more we avoid talkingthe more passive the relationship becomes.Television permits us to walk through lifewith minor speaking parts.And the more we fail to speak,the more difficult speaking becomes”

“The way we live ought to manifest the truth of what we believe. A messy life speaks of a messy and incoherent faith.”
