Famous Quotes & Sayings

We want to know we have made some impact on the world. In fact, you and I want to contribute to the quality of life. We want to make the world work.

Solitude can become your most meaningful companion and it can assist you in being a more giving person in your spiritual partnerships. Rather than regarding your partner's need for time alone as a threat, see it as a time of renewal that you celebrate. Make every effort to help each other have that space. Treat that space as sacred.

[There are, in us] possibilities that take our breath away, and show a world wider than either physics or philistine ethics can imagine.
