It's a roll of the dice when you're a first time director so I prefer to work with people that know more than I do, but that happens less and less as you get older.

Where no visible fruit can be found, there you may be sure is no conversion.

A strategy that doesn't take into account resources is doomed to failure.

There are no problems, only solutions.

Since separation precludes financial support or special privilege from government, the churches are free to engage in prophetic criticism of the government and to work for social justice.

I'm drinking here break motor oil and Bombay gin, I'll sleep when I'm dead.
