Please will you do my job for me.

God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.

Read and Re-Read--"Re-reading, we always find a new book.

There is something which unites magic and applied science (technology) while separating them from the "wisdom" of earlier ages. For the wise men of old, the cardinal problem of human life was how to conform the soul to objective reality, and the solution was wisdom, self-discipline , and virtue. For the modern, the cardinal problem is how to conform reality to the wishes of man, and the solution is a technique.

My idea of God is not a divine idea. It has to be shattered time after time. He shatters it Himself.

We sit down before the picture in order to have something done to us, not that we may do things with it. The first demand any work of art makes upon us is surrender. Look. Listen. Receive. Get yourself out of the way (there is no good asking first whether the work before you deserves such a surrender, for until you have surrendered you cannot possibly find out.

We are finite and God will not call us everywhere or to support every worthy cause. And real needs are not far from us.
