“Your perceptions are derived from your feelings and your ability to be yourself, to own and trust yourself, and to say what you feel, even when it may be diametrically opposed to everyone eles's opinion.

You've put some money into someone's life and someone's livelihood, into keeping the lights on, into helping them be alive. That's a great thing.”
“You will make mistakes, disappoint God and others, and have days when you wonder why God ever called you in the first place. Donâ€™t despair! Your usefulness to God is based on His consistency, not yours. Your call is sustained by Godâ€™s faithfulness, not yours.”
“Or they'll talk about fear, which we used to call politics- job politics, social politics, government politics.”
“Perhaps the whole root of our trouble, the human trouble, is that we will sacrifice all the beauty of our lives, will imprison ourselves in totems, taboos, crosses, blood sacrifices, steeples, mosques, races, armies, flags, nations, in order to deny the fact of death, the only fact we have. It seems to me that one ought to rejoice in the fact of death--ought to decide, indeed, to earn one's death by confronting with passion the conundrum of life.”
