(1999). The Long Road to Forgiveness.
"In contrast to justice and acceptance, forgiveness is not only the recovery of our spirit, but also the enlargement of that spirit—somehow, some way—to imagine the humanity of the injuring person. And why would we want that?
In a great injury, something is broken, psychologically or spiritually. The break not only erodes our sense of living in a fair world, corrupts our experience of our own worth, and fragments our control over our own lives and emotions; it also fundamentally damages our faith in the worthiness of others. It is that loss of the other that we absorb, and somehow transform, in forgiveness."

"Remember, I said earlier the number-one need in all people is acceptance. The number-one fear in all people is rejection." (p. 100)

"W. Edwards Deming, one of the founding fathers of the quality movement, asserted that employees are rightfully entitled to the 'pride of workmanship'. Essential to that pride are job security, expectations, clear communications, and the proper tools." (p. 7)

"We must learn to perceive power for what it really is. Basically, it's the reciprocal of leadership." (p. 16)

"Any individual or business that wants great success must take the concept of play seriously. For that matter, play should be the only thing taken seriously. Play in the workplace is not frivolous, as the hard work advocates would have you believe. Quite the contrary, play has enormous practical value...Play allows the mind to flow without restrictions—to explore, to experiment, to question, to take risks, to be adventurous, to create to innovate, and to accomplish—without fear of rejection or disapproval. Thus a business that regards fun as "unprofessional" or "improper" or "trivial" or "out of place" stifles the creative and progressive process. That’s like running a highly competitive race with one foot stuck in a bucket."

"I define career as a combination of:
- The particular occupation you choose to pursue and train for that is a significant part of your life and may or may not fit who you are
- The activities, experience, and knowledge you accumulate; skills you develop and progress you make while you're in that occupation" (p. 13)

"Although [Dan Pink] did cite the use of long-term temporary workers at companies like Microsoft as examples of a problem, not a promising new trend, he exaggerated the extent to which short-term employment and self-employment were voluntary. After all, how many downsized executives, professionals, and technicians describe themselves as 'consultants,' rather than as job hunters, because admitting they were laid off sounds perilously close to labeling themselves 'losers'?" (p. 53)
