I’m so pleased to bump into you,’ Peter said. ‘Why’s that?’ I asked. ‘O no particular reason,’ Peter said, smiling. I’ve thought a lot about that encounter recently and wondered whether the world might be a little bit better if we learned to say such things to each other more often.’ (Canon Mark Oakley)

We blossom and flourish when people love and delight in us. We shrivel inside when people criticise, judge and condemn us. ‘Make someone else loved and you become twice as loved. Make someone else feel good and you feel twice as good. It doesn't get any better than this. And it's all so...simple.’

‘Give everyone whose life you touch a sense of their own worthiness as a person, a sense of the true wonder of who they are. Give this gift and you will heal the world.’

‘If only you knew all the gifts that you bring to others. You would never feel sad again.’ (Neale Donald Walsch)
