2 "God is everywhere and can be found in any and every situation."

3 "Science and religion tell us that we are energetically interdependent; that matter and energy are the same throughout the universe. Our spiritual interconnectedness and intuitive signals form, in effect, an energetic Internet."

5 "Faith is an active force – not a passive one – an invisible power, like love."

6 "Love is all we have, the only way that each can help the other." Euripides

8 "The ancient Greek philosopher Epictetus wrote, 'The universe is but one great city, full of beloved ones, divine and human by nature, endeared to each other.'"

9 "There is no such thing as a simple act of compassion or an inconsequential act of service. Everything we do for another person has infinite consequences.

11 "Folklore and fairy tales are filled with lessons about the values of love, compassion, generosity, and caring for family, friends, the sick, and the elderly. These are the virtues that matter to heaven. These are the virtues that matter even if there is no heaven. And these are the virtues we are required to develop and refine on our spiritual journey."

12 "We need to develop faith: faith that our needs will be met; faith that we are not alone; faith that there is a greater purpose at work behind the scenes that will become known to us when the time is right."

13 "I can see that the power of prayer and intention – theirs, yours, mine – forges the grace that holds our world together."

14 "We all are one and even if those specific words are not taught to us, we develop an inner sense of their spiritual truth."

15 "Everything we do COUNTS. There is really no such thing as a small act of service or goodness. This is in accord with most of the world's spiritual traditions."

16 "The call to be of service to one another, the intuition that prompts us to use our power to help others, is wired into our physical and spiritual nature."

17 "We are constantly communicating with everything around us, with the greater energy of the universe and the consciousness of other living creatures."

18 "We are not alone in this world and even in the direst times, our prayers are heard and answered."

19 "The great power of compassion, honor, and grace still exists, even in the middle of national and world crises."

20 "You have to CHOOSE to make the best of a difficult situation and to trust that a reason beyond your understanding is always at work."

21 "Our spirit inherently understands that we are all one – with other people and our universe."

22 "The virtue of the universe is wholeness. It regards all things as equal." Tao Te Ching

23 "Have benevolence toward all living beings, joy at the sight of the virtuous, compassion and sympathy for the afflicted, and tolerance towards the indolent and ill-behaved." Tattvarthasutra 7:11 (Jainism)
