Moral Courage

Let nothing upset you; Let nothing frighten you. Everything is changing; God alone is changeless.

No coward soul is mine
No trembler in the world’s storm-troubled sphere
I see Heaven’s glories shine
And Faith shines equal arming me from Fear

Remember this for the future: ‘Don’t rely on structure; stand on your own feet.’

Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence.

To be a spiritual-based leader is to have these universal principles integrated in your inner life and to be true to them in your actions…

You will be able to stand on your own ground, the ground of your soul, where you are not a tenant, where you are at home.

True belonging is a spiritual practice of believing in and belonging to yourself so deeply that you can share your most authentic self with the world and find sacredness in both being a part of something and standing alone in the wilderness.

I just want to do God’s will. And He’s allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I’ve looked over. And I’ve seen the Promised Land.

If the situation develops, I will take Caroline and John, and we will walk hand in hand out onto the south grounds. We will stand there like brave soldiers, and face the fate of every other American.
