One cool judgment is worth a thousand hasty councils. The thing to do is to supply light and not heat.

I used many times to touch my own chest and feel, under its asthmatic quiver, the engine of the heart and lungs and blood and feel amazed at what I sensed was the enormity of the power I possessed. Not magical power, but real power. The power simply to go on, the power to endure, that is power enough, but I felt I had also the power to create, to add, to delight, to amaze and to transform.

There are cultures in which it is believed that a name contains all a persons mystical power. That a name should be known only to God and to the person who holds it and to very few privileged others.

Trust, like love, is a word that has great power Everybody deserves their own space, in their own time. You are even entitled to keep secrets.

So, if you say you can trust someone, you're admitting to something that is even greater than love. Trust, like love, is a word that has great power.
