We Pay A Heavy Price For Our Fear Of Failure.

The Creative Individual Is Particularly Gifted In Seeing The Gap Between What Is And What Could Be.

Men Of Integrity, By Their Very Existence, Rekindle The Belief That As A People We Can Live Above The Level Of Moral Squalor. We Need That Belief; A Cynical Community Is A Corrupt Community.

One Of My Less Pleasant Chores When I Was Young Was To Read The Bible From One End To The Other. Reading The Bible Straight Through Is At Least 70 Percent Discipline, Like Learning Latin. But The Good Parts Are, Of Course, Simply Amazing. God Is An Extremely Uneven Writer, But When He's Good, Nobody Can Touch Him.

I Think That All Human Systems Require Continuous Renewal. They Rigidify. They Get Stuff In The Joints. They Forget What They Cared About. The Forces Against It Are Nostalgia And The Enormous Appeal Of Having Things The Way They Always Have Been, Appeals To A Supposedly Happy Past. But We've Got To Move On.
