"I don't pray so that I can change God. I pray so that God can change me."

"Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back, everything is different."

"You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending."

"A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you."

"I pray because I can't help myself. I pray because I'm helpless. It doesn't change God - it changes me."

"Mere change is not growth. Growth is the synthesis of change and continuity, and where there is no continuity there is no growth."
