I raised five children. They all have different personalities. All of them have different issues, different levels of success. That was a learning experience for me.

We cannot embrace God's forgiveness if we are so busy clinging to past wounds and nursing old grudges.

Forgiveness is about empowering yourself, rather than empowering your past.

I like to see myself as a bridge builder, that is me building bridges between people, between races, between cultures, between politics, trying to find common ground.

The question of whether it's God's green earth is not at center stage, except in the sense that if so, one is reminded with some regularity that He may be dying.

No, I did a film called 'Death and the Compass' as well.

The elimination of the fear of death transforms the individual's way of being in the world.

There is no such thing as death. In nature nothing dies. From each sad remnant of decay, some forms of life arise so shall his life be taken away before he knoweth that he hath it.
