How beautiful is the gaze with which Jesus regards us-how full of tenderness! Let us never lose trust in the patience and mercy of God.

I always knew that deep down in every human heart, there is mercy and generosity.

As we have triumphed, so we may be merciful; as we are strong, so we can afford to be generous.

It is a good instinct if you don't distort it and pervert it. Don't give it up. Keep feeling the need for being important. Keep feeling the need for being first. But I want you to be the first in love. I want you to be the first in moral excellence. I want you to be the first in generosity.

Our world is increasingly transparent and we're out to earn trust. When people shine a light on Walmart and see our decisions - the jobs we create, the activities in our supply chain - we want them to like what they see.

Deciding to listen with open ears and an open heart brings us together. We need to seek to really understand each other. We need to demonstrate empathy. If we can make these individual connections, we can strengthen our communities and nation.
