When I hear real faithful people – whether it’s a real Christian, or a real Buddhist, or a real Muslim – I hear them use the language I use for a friend. So my metaphor for God is friend.
Every human being has an impact on another.
We need each other, deeper than anyone ever dares to admit even to themselves. I think it is a genetic imperative that we huddle together and hold on to each other. There is no question in my mind that there is nothing else in life, really, than friendship.
I like giving. Doing something for somebody else feels good.
I want to live in a world where people become famous because of their work for peace and justice and care. I want the famous to be inspiring; their lives an example of what every human being has it in them to do – act from love!
Please give your life to peace, justice and care.
My first reaction was that the adult world was fake and liars and basically worked for money and power. I didn’t want to live in that world, so I spent a year, aged 17 to 18, trying to kill myself. I didn’t want to live in a world of violence and injustice.
I think my government are fascists. I feel that if we don’t change from a society that worships money and power over to one that worships compassion and generosity, there is no hope for human survival this century.
We men should be ashamed of ourselves. I think 85 percent of men are dangerous to women. We need to change to a values system nested in compassion and generosity, and women have carried that torch throughout history.
Because we are interested in promoting wellness, we will integrate medicine with performing arts, arts and crafts, agriculture, recreation, nature, and social service.
You’ve got to know what you want. This is central to acting on your intentions. When you know what you want, you realize that all there is left then is time management. You’ll manage your time to achieve your goals because you clearly know what you’re trying to achieve in your life.
Please live a healthy life – medicine is an imperfect science.
The role of a clown and a physician are the same – it’s to elevate the possible and to relieve suffering.
Jump for joy as we accomplish the dreams we adore.
Laughter boosts the immune system and helps the body fight off disease, cancer cells as well as viral, bacterial and other infections. Being happy is the best cure of all diseases!
I’m a raging leftist political activist. I’ve never had a spiritual thought in my life related to God. I’m clear that that’s a human invention.
We have to end the capitalist system. We have to make love our value. You are rich when you love and you are rich when you are giving away your time and what you have to help other people.
All the messages our kids are getting is money-taking, not giving.
The value of friendship and just deep human contact grows out of giving.
People like givers, people want to help givers. I get stuff all the time.
Everyone has creative potential. Creativity involves using your imagination and inventiveness. Your unique expression of yourself is your creativity... Creativity can be magic when visiting people who are ill.
