"You can only reach God through His creation."

"The Christian doctrine of suffering explains, I believe, a very curious fact about the world we live in. The settled happiness and security which we all desire, God withholds from us by the nature of the world: but joy, pleasure, and merriment He has scattered broadcast...The security we crave would teach us to rest our hearts in this world and oppose an obstacle to our return to God...Our Father refreshes us on the journey with some pleasant inns, but will not encourage us to mistake them for home."

"Your first words will not only shape your first impression, they can create amazing connections, lead you to your dream job, or help you discover a new best friend-or accomplish exactly the opposite."

"When we relate with people, we indirectly relate with God."

"A genuine smile is inviting, contagious, encouraging, and brings joy into the world. It instantly tells others that you are glad to see them, that they are important and you are approachable."

"When you see people smiling, does it give you a sense of connection with them? The law of reciprocity illustrates it is hard to not smile back when someone smiles at you."

"We're on the same wavelength. We're connected that way, even if I'm away from her."

"The key problem I encounter working with wounded, depressed, and unhappy people is a lack of connection starting from a disconnection from themselves and then with others. This is why love often becomes so distorted and destructive. When people experience a disconnection from themselves, they feel it but do not realize the problem."

"Haven't you known people who seem to have a "sixth sense super-power when it comes to connecting, communicating, and understanding others? These emotionally intelligent people always know the right things to say to make us feel that we matter."

"Mingle Be the connector-introduce people to each other who may not otherwise connect. Be a conversation fire starter; point out what people have in common as you are introducing them. Seek out the folks who may appear to be shy, or awkward, or wallflowers. Find ways to build trust and comfort. Engage them with a kind word to pull them out of their shell. Arrive early and stay late; connect with people before and after your event. Stretch beyond your comfort zone to speak with, sit with, and start conversations with people whom you do not know. Offer to refill someone's drink or clear their plate. Encourage introductions: "There is someone whom I would love for you to meet . . ."

"Man Thinking must not be subdued by his instruments. Books are for the scholar's idle times. When he can read God directly, the hour is too precious to be wasted in other men's transcripts of their readings."

"The voyage of the best ship is a zigzag line of a hundred tacks. See the line from a sufficient distance, and it straightens itself to the average tendency. Your genuine action will explain itself, and will explain your other genuine actions. Your conformity explains nothing. . . . The force of character is cumulative."

"Every revolution was first a thought in one man's mind, and when the same thought occurs to another man, it is the key to that era."

"People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character."

"The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship."
