“anyone who doesn't make mistakes isn't trying hard enough.”

“إذاأردت أن تفعل شيئا لنفسك, لا يهم الظروف التي عشت فيها ، وإنما يجب أن يكون لديك إيمان بقدراتك بطريق عملية وحقيقية وفي بعض الأحيان محفوفة بالمخاطر.”

“If God places a child before you, and you are too busy to wield either a positive or negative influence...you just did the later! You communicated that the child doesn't matter and isn't important.”

“Children are ingenuous. They are also blessed with uncanny ability to read a person's character instantly. Even though they are inexperienced and unsophisticated, they often know instinctively who can be trusted and who is the charlatan.”

“It all begins, I maintain, with that powerful and underutilized thing called love. God's love for the individual is displayed by those people who reflect his love in their words and deeds. It ultimately gets understood and accepted by the child in poverty, and through that individual's love for others, the world gets changed.”

“If that isn't typical male stupidity! If something doesn't work, kick it or swear at it!”

“...while God has done his part in creating a world capable of providing what we need, we have not done our part in the stewardship of it, in seeing that it gets to the end of the line, to the poorest and neediest--the children.”
