I appreciate a book intended to be judged by its cover. The insincere readers are often weeded out while the sincere readers remain curious.

The aim is to love God because the pure heart loves loving God and because the true mind knows He deserves it. Unlike the accusations and beliefs of the critics and skeptics, it is neither an obligation of duty; nor a fear of damnation; nor a wish for power; nor a desire to appear more righteous than others; nor because God needs it; but because through all love, truth, reason, faith, honesty, and joy in and beyond oneself and the universe, He is worthy.

Every category has its snobs: music, books, movies. There are so many things a man is only pressured into liking or disliking.

One who enjoys finding errors will then start creating errors to find.

Men seek a great deal, but fatally close, albeit very different, is one's pride in proving oneself right with one's zeal for finding the truth.

A sign of a lover of wisdom is his delight in not running his mouth about things he doesn't know.

A prophet is always underestimated, and part of what makes one a prophet is that he doesn't really mind it.

When you're appeasing too much, you might be egotistically over-estimating everyone's need for your approval.

An insincere critic of a sincere person never wins.
