God blessed me with a peace that surpasses understanding.

Changing people's beliefs and altering behaviors is a very difficult challenge in any setting.

I chose a career in medicine because I wanted a tangible skill with which to serve people. And so my role as a physician is my attempt to do that.

There are a lot of health care providers in this country who have a very deep sense of service and compassion for the suffering of others, who are motivated to go to West Africa despite the risks of infection and death. And doctors and nurses face those risks every day regardless of their setting.

You believe happiness to be derived from the place in which once you have been happy, but in truth it is centered in ourselves.

It doesn't fill me with joy, being the gun guy.

With eye upraised his master's looks to scan, The joy, the solace, and the aid of man; The rich man's guardian, and the poor man's friend, The only creature faithful to the end.

Happiness, contentment, the health and growth of the soul, depend, as men have proved over and over again, upon some simple issue, some single turning of the soul.
