I must give you this warning: your journeys will rarely ever go as you plan. You will make mistakes, and you will feel lost. Whenever that happens, look to the light and keep moving forward in faith.

In the quiet of the graveyard, the couple knelt together in soul-stretching silence—wishing, waiting, hoping, praying.

Willpower, though important in its own way, is never enough. In order for you to be truly powerful, you must open up and trust in something beyond yourself—something you cannot prove for certain.

Have faith in the light you carry.

Faith is believing in something you cannot prove for certain.

Always go as far as you can see, then let faith take you the rest of the way.

And so I tell you, restless one, that no matter what happens, when things get dark, look to the light and keep moving forward in faith.

This plant represents what's happening inside of you. The world, like the soil, is cold and dark—layered with a history of destruction and death. You were planted in this world to rise above it. Do you not see? The very existence of this darkness gives you the opportunity to become a light to the world.

Where does your soul walk? Does it walk in the sunlit woods or hide in the shadowy forest?

I didn't just see a child in my dreams—I felt it in my heart.

Where does your soul walk?

All churches are an echo of this—the Cathedral of Nature.

To love the creations of the Earth is to worship the Being who created them.

Darling, I would follow you through the blackest midnight—just not without my trousers!

One human life is worth more than all the treasures of the earth.

Our home is a belonging place.

There are two forces at work in the world: the power of light and the power of darkness.

This is the miracle of all miracles—when life sacrifices itself to become something greater. When it awakens to its potential and rises in power. That is true magic.

In order to defeat the darkness, you must bring it into the light.

You cannot defeat darkness by running from it.

There is nothing more real than light.

When we're constantly thinking about ourselves, our world shrinks.

Abundance in life is achieved only when we tear down walls and fill our lives with light.

In lifting another person, we also lift ourselves.

Our joy in life is inexorably determined by the degree to which we love.

We can achieve the fullest measure of life by living it for others.

Thus bound together, they sheltered the child from the cold, dark night, enveloping him in warmth.

For each of us, there comes a time when we must awaken and become what we were born to become.

I shall not repent of my faith.

Our lives are a journey. As we move forward, we will not only figuratively experience the geography of life: the exhilaration of high mountains, the tranquility of calm meadows, the isolation of treacherous canyons, but we will also experience the seasons of life: the hope of spring, the abundance of summer, the harvest of autumn, and yes, the darkness and depression of winter.

One day, you will stand at the summit of a figurative mountain and look back on your life's journey. And, to your utter amazement, you will see how your experiences with depression, dark and painful as they were, only added to the overall beauty of your life.

To all who struggle with depression or suicidal thoughts: you are not alone. we are all on this journey together. I promise you that there is hope. Let us reach out to one another and walk together in the sunlight.

Depression thrives in secrecy but shrinks in empathy.

Love is what freed me from the cell of my selfishness.

You cannot defeat darkness by running from it, nor can you conquer your inner demons by hiding them from the world. In order to defeat the darkness, you must bring it into the light.

Do you see the light within yourself? Do you see how you have given it to others?

The only way to fight the darkness around us is to light a fire within us.

Your life—your very existence—is a light!

Fill your life with light!

Have you spent so much time in the darkness that you cannot understand the light?

Those who cling to the shadows will always hate and despise the light.

I have seen the light in the wilderness and I must follow it.

Faith can turn the night to light.

If you keep your heart open, that same pain can become a purifying pain, a strengthening pain. If we choose forgiveness over bitterness, that pain can heal instead of hurt. Instead of a pain that divides, it can be a pain that binds. Instead of a pain that breaks us down, it can be a pain that builds us up.

The pumpkin is a uniquely American plant, widely regarded as one of the most magical plants in all the world.

Love is a powerful magic.

Helping someone feel they belong is a magic all its own.

Faith is the deepest and truest form of magic.

Oh, my child, can you not see? You must let go of yourself. For if a seed wishes to live, it must sacrifice itself and grow outward, not inward.

I am Mother Nature. All of creation bows before me. When people leave their cities and learn of me—walk in my woods, bathe in my rivers, eat of my harvest—they will find healing to their souls. But stray from me and return to the supposed wisdom of men, and they will find themselves in chains once more.

You can't defeat the darkness by keeping it caged inside of you.

Don't give in to the darkness, for there is so much life ahead of you.

Darkness always tries to hide the truth!

Truth is the greatest strength we have against the darkness.

Honesty is the only way to fight the inner demons.

There are no shortcuts through the wilderness of life.

It is only through seeking that we find what we are looking for.

I have learned that I always feel happier and healthier when I offer genuine love to other people.

I believe each of us is a pilgrim in our own way; we are all lost souls, trying to find our way home.

Every man, woman, and child on this earth is a wandering pilgrim in his or her own way—each searching for a belonging place. That sense of belonging is found only as we care for one another.

We always have a choice. Only you can decide what you become.

You are taking things far too literally. Everything you see is merely a symbol for things you do not see. Most of the people of this world are asleep in their minds.

Most of the people of this world are asleep in their minds.

Love without conditions.

If we have the power and the means, then we must help.

Life is not trying to entertain us, it's trying to teach us.

Fear is destructive and defeating, but faith is constructive and creative.

Only you can decide what you become.

We may not be able to control what happens to us, but we can always control how we react.

Perhaps we are not really sinners in the hands of an angry God, after all. Perhaps we are all more like seedlings in the hands of a wise gardener.

If you truly love someone, have the faith to 'let them go.' Encourage them to be the fullest measure of themselves, and you will be overwhelmed by the love that your spouse returns to you.

Life is less about finding and more about seeking.

A bruised apple is not all bad. It still has tremendous potential.

Marriage should liberate, not incarcerate. Real love shouldn't limit a person's potential, it should expand it.

Abandon the idea that you will forever be the victim of the things that have happened to you. Choose to be a victor.

Myths are different than fairy tales or legends. Legends are stories based in history and are more or less true. Myths, on the other hand, are stories containing a deeper truth—stories that transcend time. If you were to travel the world, you would find myths that are remarkably similar to one another—stories of heroes fighting the darkness with the light.

Charity is the entrance to the garden.

You are worth infinitely more than you could possibly imagine.

There's nothing more important in this world than caring for a child.
