For, verily, great love springs from great knowledge of the beloved object, and if you little know it, you will be able to love it only little or not at all.

What I'm not confused about is the world needing much more love, no hate, no prejudice, no bigotry and more unity, peace and understanding. Period.

Speak only if it improves upon the silence.

Everyday I wake up next to an angel more beautiful than words could say.

We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people.

It is never my custom to use words lightly. If twenty-seven years in prison have done anything to us, it was to use the silence of solitude to make us understand how precious words are and how real speech is in its impact on the way people live and die.
