Too often what I dislike in others is more about what I am and less about what I dislike in them. Therefore, if I make the changes in myself I’m less likely to criticize the the faults in another.

There’s not much that I can find in places where there is nothing to find. However, to avoid facing God I find myself spending a lot of time in those very places.

It’s not that I’ve been invited to the hole I’m standing in. It’s that I accepted the invitation.

I am probably no more disgruntled with my fellowman than he is with me.

I don’t necessarily bemoan tragedy. Rather, what I bemoan is our seemingly inbred refusal to be accountable to the choices we’ve made that have caused those tragedies.

The dark might be dark, but at least we don’t have to look at ourselves when we’re standing in it.

The reason placing blame repeatedly fails to work is that I repeatedly place it on everyone else instead of where it actually belongs.

The greatest people are ‘great’ because they’re willing to admit their greatest faults.

It’s really a rather simple thing to bring balance to my anger. All I need to do is remember that the ‘hand of cards’ that have been dealt to me pale in comparison to the ‘deck of cards’ that I’ve thrown at others.
