“Duty makes us do things well, but love makes us do them beautifully.”

“Your values are the soul of your leadership, and they drive your behavior.”

“I do not think there is a demonstrative proof (like Euclid) of Christianity, nor of the existence of matter, nor of the good will and honesty of my best and oldest friends. I think all three are (except perhaps the second) far more probable than the alternatives. The case for Christianity in general is well given by Chesterton…As to why God doesn't make it demonstratively clear; are we sure that He is even interested in the kind of Theism which would be a compelled logical assent to a conclusive argument? Are we interested in it in personal matters? I demand from my friend trust in my good faith which is certain without demonstrative proof. It wouldn't be confidence at all if he waited for rigorous proof. Hang it all, the very fairy-tales embody the truth. Othello believed in Desdemona's innocence when it was proved: but that was too late. Lear believed in Cordelia's love when it was proved: but that was too late. 'His praise is lost who stays till all commend.' The magnanimity, the generosity which will trust on a reasonable probability, is required of us. But supposing one believed and was wrong after all? Why, then you would have paid the universe a compliment it doesn't deserve. Your error would even so be more interesting and important than the reality. And yet how could that be? How could an idiotic universe have produced creatures whose mere dreams are so much stronger, better, subtler than itself?”

“When you optimize your talents very well, you can pick money from people's pockets and nobody will ever get the guts to call you a thief.”

“Life is a game, play it.”

“Stop complaining and do something... Shut up! Rise up! Grow up! And show up! See you at the top!”

“Change won't come from the top, Change will come from mobilized grassroots.”

“A person who knows how may always have a job, but the person who knows why will always be his boss.”

“Success in life depends upon happiness, and happiness is found in no other way than through SERVICE that is rendered in a spirit of love."

“One might say that our words are a movie screen that reveals what we have been thinking and the attitudes that we have.”
