“It is this belief in a power larger than myself and other than myself which allows me to venture into the unknown and even the unknowable.”

“Once I opened my mind to the concept of a greater power, I never struggled with it. Everywhere I went, I felt and saw the existence of a creative intelligence in this universe, of a loving power larger than myself in nature, in people, everywhere.”

“I'm hoping what all sentient beings hope ... that somehow I'm part of something larger than myself, in which I play a role, an actual role that is somehow intended and meaningful.”

“To censure my own faults in some other person seems to me no more incongruous than to censure, as I often do, another's in myself. They must be denounced everywhere, and be allowed no place of sanctuary.”

“We usually live our lives with the belief that "I sacrifice myself for everyone else," rather than thinking that "everyone else helps me.”

“I don't allow myself to doubt myself even for a moment.”
