“Even the best inborn potentialities for achievement do not render unnecessary patient and persistent practice.”

“Human potential at its best is to transform a tragedy into a personal triumph, to turn one's predicament into a human achievement.”

“Life’s best coaches are those who believe in you and your potential, sometimes even before you do.”

“The practice of forgiveness is very much like the practice of meditation. You have to do it often and persist at it in order to be any good.”

“For what then matters is to bear witness to the uniquely human potential at its best, which is to transform a personal tragedy into a triumph, to turn one’s predicament into a human achievement.”

“When we pray, "Give us this day our daily bread," we are, in a measure, shutting tomorrow out of our prayer. We do not live in tomorrow but in today. We do not seek tomorrow's grace or tomorrow's bread. They thrive best, and get most out of life, who live in the living present. They pray best who pray for today's needs, not for tomorrow's, which may render our prayers unnecessary and redundant by not existing at all!”
