All the important things in life lie beyond reason... and that's just the way things are.

Within each of us exists the image of God, however disfigured and corrupted by sin it may presently be. God is able to recover this image through grace as we are conformed to Christ.

The Christian faith allows us to see further and deeper, to appreciate that nature is studded with signs, radiant with reminders, and emblazoned with symbols of God, our creator and redeemer.

I realized by using the high notes of the chords as a melodic line, and by the right harmonic progression, I could play what I heard inside me. That's when I was born.

I am tired of talk that comes to nothing.

It's a very nice thing to be able to give joy to people.

God designed in different faiths adored by different human communities are all limbs of the One God that really is.

The secret of life is in love the love of God and the service of humanity.
