As you're rushing through life, take time to stop a moment, look into people's eyes, say something kind, and try to make them laugh!

In a neighborhood, as in life, a clean bandage is much, much better than a raw or festering wound.

God is more powerful than anybody's past, no matter how wretched. He can make us forget - not by erasing the memory but by taking the sting and paralyzing effect out of it

Love always desires to bless the object of its affection.

In the long run, the sharpest weapon of all is a kind and gentle spirit.

Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character and goodness. People are just people, and all people have faults and shortcomings, but all of us are born with a basic goodness.

Sometimes doing the right thing wounds others — and also wounds the wounder.

Wounded people may not get over their wounds easily or quickly. Wounds can be hard just to brush aside because the wounder says, "I'm sorry.

As I look back on my life, it saddens me to acknowledge that some of my most painful wounds were inflicted by religious people — Gods people.

Turning around is a courageous choice —it's hard to do! It can hurt to take the plank out of your own eye, confront the past, change your focus, die to your pride, admit your wrong, deny your vengeance, face the person, risk another wound. And it takes courage to say you're sorry

Love is a choice — a decision we make to put the well-being of the other person before our own. And forgiveness is also a decision.

God has forgiven me. As an act of grateful worship, I choose to forgive others.
