On Miracles
  "Saint or sinner miracles still do happen. Our choice is whether miracles happen to us, through us... or in spite of us."  
  On Fame
  "... the closer people are to us, the more impact they have in our lives. So why do we think that we need to be famous or rich to make a positive change to society?"  
On Ego
  "... many would not be so concerned about what others think of them if they realized how infrequently we do so."  
  On Life
  "... in and out of this experience will each of us come. Perhaps thinking we know what type of people we are at our coming into it. Surely knowing what type of a person we are when we return. This is the main purpose of life."  
  On Receiving
  "... the regret of not asking my transient companion what his mission in life might be … indeed, how anyone can know what his or her mission in life is, has haunted me for some time. But over time, a prayerful taming of this echoing regret has taught me a valuable lesson: in order to receive something, we usually need to ask."  
  On Advice
  "... I feel certain that I am not the first to observe firsthand that in order for anything to work properly we need people who are free to say what they truly believe, rather than what they think we want to hear."  
  On Humility
  "... I believe the pattern demonstrated here is that in order to be teachable, humility and faith are required. Certainly before a miracle can take place."  
  On Inspiration
  "In the church of the blind, the man or woman whose eyes begin to open will surely doubt their own sanity"
