Harold S. Kushner Quotes

I think of life as a good book. The further you get into it, the more it begins to make sense.

Do things for people not because of who they are or what they do in return, but because of who you are

If that were God's plan, it's a bad bargain; I don't want to have to deal with a God like that...My sense is God and I came to an accommodation with each other a couple of decades ago, where he's gotten used to the things that I'm not capable of and I've come to terms with things he's not capable of...and we care very much about each other.

Sooner or later, we all learn that our immortality is rooted not in our professional involvements and achievements, but in our families. In time, all of our wins and losses in the workplace will be forgotten. If our memories endure, it will be because of the people we have known and touched.

God is the One who is with us when we have to do something we don't think we are capable of doing.
