“But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.’ Matthew 5:44 and 45,”

“I'm not a dog person by nature. Cats are more my bag. I like their independence, that look in their eyes that says 'Hey Jack. I go where the food goes'. Cats have an attitude like that, someone once said that cats were once revered as gods and they don’t like us to forget it. Dogs don't have that attitude(at least not for me). What dogs have is a loyalty that borders upon stupidity. You can kick a cat and that's it. It'll go somewhere else and find itself another lap to sit upon. You can kick a dog and it'll just keep on coming back for more.”

“Love and a sense of security are, of course, foundations for our psychological development. The food, water, and oxygen we need to grow a healthy self-image. If we don’t receive adequate unconditional love as children, especially during our first five years, we carry that deficiency with us for the rest of our lives, seeing it manifest itself in profound emotional problems and psychological defects. If our minds evolve in an environment over which we have no sense of security, no control, we are left with often permanent feelings of weakness, powerlessness.”

“Her worst day sober—and this might just be it—was better than her best day in the hell of active addiction.”
