Perhaps you see, therefore, why I think taste must come before nutrition? Our infatuation for the quasi-scientific has left us easy marks for con men and tin fiddle manufacturers.

Grace cannot prevail...until our lifelong certainty that someone is keeping score has run out of steam and collapsed.

Jesus came to raise the dead. He did not come to teach the teachable; He did not come to improve the improvable; He did not come to reform the reformable. None of those things works.

Even to this day, grace remains hard to swallow. Religiosity and moralism go down easier than free forgiveness.

We are not saved by what Jesus taught, and we are certainly not saved by what we understand Jesus to have taught. We are saved by Jesus Himself.

However much we hate the law, we are more afraid of grace

Heaven is populated entirely by forgiven sinners

We were given appetites, not to consume the world and forget it, but to taste its goodness and hunger to make it great.

A good time occurs precisely when we lose track of what time it is.

Salvation is a gift given, not a bargain struck.

The truth that makes us free is always ticking away like a time-bomb in the basement of everybody's church.

Love doesn't need your permission, that's what hope is for.

Us atheist people, we believe we have to act properly and honestly for a moral principle and not because we expect an award in Paradise.

Pride costs nothing, yet it is especially precious when it can be “purchased” at someone else’s expense.

If you can film an idea in your mind, follow that film idea shot for shot, scene for scene, that idea is worth making.

It's good to play and you must keep in practice.

Prayer is not logical it is a mysterious moral working of the Holy Spirit.

The centuries-old history and culture of India, majestic architectural monuments and museums of Delhi, Agra and Mumbai have a unique attractive force.

As we go on with our lives we tend to forget that the jails and the hospitals and the madhouses and the graveyards are packed.

Our stand is that of the proletariat and of the masses. For members of the Communist Party, this means keeping to the stand of the Party, keeping to Party spirit and Party policy.

You either get free stuff or you get freedom. You cannot have both and you need to make a choice.
