We are to love God most importantly so that we can grow to love people as he loved us, not so that we can feel more divine and worthy than the worldly.

Whenever we want to combat our enemies, first and foremost we must start by understanding them rather than exaggerating their motives.

I am not sure if women are attracted to genius. Can you imagine the wise wizard winning the woman over the gallant swordsman? It seems rather otherworldly in more ways than one.

When you have wit of your own, it's a pleasure to credit other people for theirs.

It is a noble responsibility to not back down when you know that you know that you know that you are right.

Doubt is a question mark; faith is an exclamation point. The most compelling, believable, realistic stories have included them both.

The typical atheist rebels against God as a teenager rebels against his parents. When his own desires or standards are not fulfilled in the way that he sees fit, he, in revolt, storms out of the house in denial of the Word of God and in scrutiny of a great deal of those who stand by the Word of God. The epithet 'Heavenly Father' is a grand reflection, a relation to that of human nature.
