• God’s definition of success is really one of significance-the significant difference our lives can make in the lives of others.

• History repeats itself only in that, from afar, we all seem to lead exactly the same life. We are all born; we all spend time here on earth; we all die. But up close, we have each walked down our own separate paths. We have stood at our own lonely crossroads. We have touched the lives of others at crucial points, for better or for worse. In the end, each of us has lived a unique life story, astounding and complicated, a story that could never be repeated.

He leaves his proof on wood, on stone or on the lives of other people.

I think that we seriously doubt that we exist and go about trying to prove that we do.
