Anyone who does anything to help a child is a hero to me.

Knowing that we can be loved exactly as we are gives us all the best opportunity for growing into the healthiest of people.

How many times have you noticed that it's the little quiet moments in the midst of life that seem to give the rest extra-special meaning?

The greatest gift that you can give another person is to gracefully receive whatever it is that they want to give us.

My hunch is that if we allow ourselves to give who we really are to the children in our care, we will in some way inspire cartwheels in their hearts.

Anger makes us feel so isolated.

I believe that those of us who are the producers and purveyors of television, I believe that we are the servants of this nation.

I believe that the basis of any health education lies in a person's caring enough about himself that he'll want to take care of himself.

As human beings, our job in life is to help people realize how rare and valuable each one of us really is, that each of us has something that no one else has -- or ever will have -- something inside that is unique to all time. It's our job to encourage each other to discover that uniqueness and to provide ways of developing its expression.

There are many things children accept as grown-up things over when they have no control and for which they have no responsibility -- for instance, weddings, having babies, buying houses, and driving cars. Parents who are separating really need to help their children put divorce on that grown-up list, so that children do not see themselves as the cause of their parents' decision to live apart.

I'm fairly convinced that the Kingdom of God is for the broken-hearted. You write of 'powerlessness.' Join the club, we are not in control. God is.

If you could only sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to the people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person.

Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning...They have to play with what they know to be true in order to find out more, and then they can use what they learn in new forms of play.

There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person.

You've made this day a special day, by just your being you. There's no person in the whole world like you, and I like you just the way you are.

How sad it is that we give up on people who are just like us.

We all have negative urges, but we don't have to act out those urges.

You can choose to let this thing bother you or let this be an adventure and welcome the challenge.

If you're trusted and people will allow you to share their inner gardern... what better gift?

Real strength has to do with helping others.
