Wise Quotes

On Love and Holistic Medicine

"Well, the basic healing essence is love. And if we're in a life situation where we aren't understanding about love, we're going to have a really hard time working with healing. Because that's what I found my parents were doing. They were loving the people. And I knew that that's what was the essence of it. Native Americans have known this forever. And even the Bible says, God is love. Well, if you're going to work that way, you better get some basic understanding about what love is. And, so it was when we don't,  think most, any modality that we use, if it's used in a loving attitude and a in a loving outreach to the physician within the patient themselves, then we're going to  get some kind of response."

On The Value of a 10 Year Plan

"Well, in my life, there have been so many things that I've reached for and wanted to get and get done and so on. And, sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. And,  I've found that if you make your plan too short, you get discouraged. But if it's a 10 year plan, it gives you some reaching area. Okay, well, I didn't make it in this five years, but in another five  years maybe I could make it happen.
