Never hide things from hardcore thinkers. They get more aggravated, more provoked by confusion than the most painful truths.

At first, they'll only dislike what you say, but the more correct you start sounding the more they'll dislike you.

A man who loves others based solely on how they make him feel, or what they do for him, is really not loving others at all - but loving only himself.

Tell me that the purpose of life is to have fun, and without a care in the world I'll begin wreaking havoc on everything I pass. Now that's what I call pure, honest fun.

These days when Christians bicker they exaggerate passion into a legalistic belief and prosperity into a lukewarm belief.

It often occurs that pride and selfishness are muddled with strength and independence. They are neither equal nor similar; in fact, they are polar opposites. A coward may be so cowardly that he masks his weakness with some false personification of power. He is afraid to love and to be loved because love tends to strip bare all emotional barricades. Without love, strength and independence are prone to losing every bit of their worth; they become nothing more than a fearful, intimidated, empty tent lost somewhere in the desert of self.

Christ delves far beyond the means of superficiality, not simply because of his immaculate love, but also because he considers the distinct cases of each individual rather than withholding a broadened perception by use of stereotypes.
