“Once when my father-in-law was leaving the house after lunch to return to the field to work, my mother-in-law said, 'Albert, you get right back in here and tell me you love me.' He grinned and jokingly said, 'Elsie, when we were married, I told you I loved you, and if that ever changes, I'll let you know.' It's hard to overuse the expression, 'I love you.' Use it daily.”
“Too many escape into complexity these days. For it is an escape for persons to cry, when this question of the equality of peoples is raised in India or in our own South, 'Ah, but the situation is not so simple.' ... no great stride forward is ever made for the individual or for the human race unless the complex situation is reduced to one simple question and its simple answer.”

“Wherever love comes from, whatever is its genesis, it isnâ€™t like a quantity of gold or diamonds, even water in the earth-a fixed quantity, Fos thought. You canâ€™t use up love, deplete it at its source. Love exists beyond fixed limits. Beyond what you can see or count.”

“Buddhism notes that it is always a mistake to think your soul can go it alone.”
“Withhold no good impulse. You may fear that you will run to excess and squander too much, but those feelings are born of fear. In God's reality, the more you give of yourself-in feeling, generosity, self-expression, goodness, creativity, and love-the more you will be given.”
“Holiness is an unselfing of ourselves.”
