The moment you become miserly you are closed to the basic phenomenon of life: expansion, sharing. The moment you start clinging to things, you have missed the target--you have missed.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
People are very hungry for something new. I think they are interested in being called to be a part of something larger than the sort of small, petty, slash-and-burn politics that we have been seeing over the last several years.
A man, as a general rule, owes very little to what he is born with - a man is what he makes of himself.
