I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.

Loving someone liberates the lover as well as the beloved. And that kind of love comes with age.

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back.

When things were very bad his soul just crawled behind his heart and curled up and went to sleep

There is something more - the spirit, or the soul. I think that that quality encourages our courtesy and care and our minds. And mercy, and identity.

If we lose love and self respect for each other, this is how we finally die.
