brothers quotes

I grew up around lots of men – my father, my brothers, my uncles – so I wasn’t intimidated by them.

My great-grandfather and his two brothers fought at Gettysburg. They were in artillery, and they survived the war, thank goodness. So I revere what they did. I think their motivations were honorable when they undertook the war and participated in it along with other Southerners.

The happiest moments are when we sit down and we feel the presence of our brothers and sisters, lay and monastic, who are practicing walking and sitting meditation.

My sisters are stronger and my brother’s bigger than me.
