Some days you feel like you're the worst of sinners; others like you're the most righteous person on earth. I am convinced that the former is when you're closest to God.

Be careful not to appear obsessively intellectual. When intelligence fills up, it overflows a parody.

During the flames of controversy, opinions, mass disputes, conflict, and world news, sometimes the most precious, refreshing, peaceful words to hear amidst all the chaos are simply and humbly 'I don't know.

Truth is not fully explosive, but purely electric. You don't blow the world up with the truth; you shock it into motion.

I pity the man who praises God only when things go his way.
