“Love does not cost anything. Kind words and deeds do not cost anything. The real beauty of the world is equal for everyone to see. It was given by God equally to all, without restrictions. Everyone, was given a beautiful vehicle in which to express love to others. Feelings are free to express and give to ourselves and each other through our willingness to give and care. What is complicated about this... Why have we made others feel they have to climb mountains and swim oceans in order to make a difference. All we need to understand my friends, is that human life was given equally to us all, not partially but in totality. The sun was given to all. It does not shine on the few. So, just has nature is indifferent to our station or situation, we need to know that we are all equal. We need to focus on the things that are constant and not place our values on things that can be blown away with the next, great, wind. Value life in what ever house it dwells. For when it comes time that we are all stripped to bare bones before the divine and facing eternity, we will understand that the only law we were meant to follow, was to love ourselves and each other. Nothing more...nothing less.”

“And Jim couldn't get a job, though he hunted for one — desperately, eagerly, anxiously. Walking from one employment agency to another; spending long hours in the musty agency waiting-rooms, reading old newspapers. Waiting, waiting, waiting to be called up for a job. He would come home shivering from the cold, saying, 'God damn white people anyway. I don't want favors. All I want is a job. Just a job. Don't they know if I know how I'd change the color of my skin?”

“O trabalho tem o potencial de ser nossa contribuição genuína ao futuro. Para isso, é preciso entendê-lo como ferramenta de cocriação do mundo. Entender que cada pessoa, com seu papel (que vai muito além de produzir e consumir), desempenha uma função importante nessa grande rede. Logo, em vez de abrir mão dos nossos sonhos para pagar contas, ou ver o trabalho como uma prisão diária cuja única finalidade é o "ganha-pão", devemos permitir que nossa autenticidade direcione nossas escolhas profissionais.”

“Faith without action is delusion. Faith without personal responsibility is escapism. Faith without suffering is meaningless. Faith looks at a challenge, looks at the facts, then looks inside and follows divine energy. Faith pushes through darkness and turns our emotionally charged ideas into reality. Faith plus action enacts Providence.”
