Meaning can only be understood in relation to its environment. Therefore, the words only make full sense in context... There are no absolutes, there is no meaning without relationships, everything is not only interacting but interdependent. The kahunas use this idea to help give a person a powerfully secure sense of significance, while at the same time teaching him that to heal himself is to heal the world, and to heal the world is to heal himself. This is not a loss of individuality, but an understanding that individuality itself is a relationship with the environment.

Serge King

It all begins with forgiveness, because to heal the world, we first have to heal ourselves. And to heal the kids, we first have to heal the child within, each and every one of us.

Michael Jackson

Ali Wong

We come to church not to hide our problems but to heal them.

Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Beth Moore

Thomas Carlyle

Only time can heal your broken heart. Just as only time can heal his broken arms and legs.

Jim Henson

Jack Kemp

You have to give a wound time to heal and think of other people's feelings.

Tracy Morgan

Time doesn't heal wounds; it only watches them take different shapes and forms until they look so different that where they came from is often obscured. The real capacity to heal inner wounds comes from heaven, not earth. Only the power of Jesus can go to the deep places and bring healing.

Robert Whitlow

I don't try to hide my feelings or what I think.

Ben Askren

We need to heal the environment - that's a big thing - because we messed it up and we have a responsibility to heal and clean up what we have messed up before we think about leaving here. We can't really heal the outer environment on those levels until we heal our families.
