Paul Tournier

Let us not seek to bring religion to others, but let us endeavor to live it ourselves.

To be right is dangerous it has ever been the source of all intolerance.

At the heart of personality is the need to feel a sense of being lovable without having to qualify for that acceptance.

Acceptance of one's life has nothing to do with resignation; it does not mean running away from the struggle. On the contrary, it means accepting it as it comes, with all the handicaps of heredity, of suffering, of psychological complexes and injustices.

Recounting of a life story, a mind thinking aloud leads one inevitably to the consideration of problems which are no longer psychological but spiritual.

This is what marriage really means: helping one another to reach the full status of being persons, responsible beings who do not run away from life.

Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can.

Acceptance of one's life has nothing to do with resignation; it does not mean running away from the struggle. On the contrary it means accepting it as it come. To accept is to say yes to life in its entirety.

Our task is to live our personal communion with Christ with such intensity as to make it contagious.

Nothing makes us so lonely as our secrets.

The more refined and subtle our minds, the more vulnerable they are.
