“But I'm going to focus on salvation as well as physical healing.”
“Occasions for defining moments do not arise every day. When they do, we must seize the opportunities they present for improving everyone's life.”
“The more creative you are the more trouble you're in. You have to be courageous!”
“I like poetry when I don't quite understand why I like it. Poetry isn't just a question of wrapping something up and giving it to someone else to unwrap. It just doesn't work like that.”
“The Revelation of theÂ BÃ¡bÂ may be likened to the sun, its station corresponding to the first sign of the Zodiacâ€”the sign Ariesâ€”which the sun enters at the vernal equinox. The station ofÂ BahÃ¡â€™uâ€™llÃ¡h'sÂ Revelation, on the other hand, is represented by the sign Leo, the sun's midsummer and highest station. By this is meant that this holy Dispensation is illumined with the light of the Sun of Truth shining from its most exalted station, and in the plenitude of its resplendency, its heat and glory.”
“I'm not fighting. I just telling you what's right.”
“What were the relations between the Jews and the secret societies? That is not easy to elucidate, for we lack reliable evidence. Obviously they did not dominate in these associations, as the writers, whom I have just mentioned, pretended; they were not necessarily the soul, the head, the grand master of masonry as Gougenot des Mousseaux affirms.

“In your 20s, crises tend to be about whether you are making the correct decisions for the rest of your life, namely in your job and relationship. In your 30s, work-related issues and break-ups feature prominently. In your 40s, for women bereavement is often an issue. For men, it is still to do with their job but it has moved to "Holy crap, I've got a lot to do". In your 50s, you get features of both early and later life crises - bereavement and ill health. And that continues in your 60s, with retirement-related issues and heightened awareness of mortality.”
