Understanding God is not attained by calling into session all arguments for and against Him, in order to debate whether He is a reality or a figment of the mind. God cannot be sensed as a second thought, as an explanation of the origin of the universe. He is either the first and the last, or just another concept.

We worry a great deal about the problem of church and state. Now what about the church and God? Sometimes there seems to be a greater separation between the church and God than between the church and state.

It is of the essence of virtue that the good is not to be done for the sake of a reward.

To serve does not mean to surrender but to share.

(People) can never attain fulfillment, or sense of meaning, unless it is shared, unless it pertains to other human beings.

The opposite of good is not evil, the opposite of good is indifference.

The awe of God is wisdom.
