There is only one secret. To love what you are doing.

My father was a good preacher and had a little bit of drama.

Prior to and during [John] Locke's time, it was difficult to determine where religion or church left off and government or state began. The powers of both were often combined. As a result, churches frequently used the force of the state to promote and enforce their interests and doctrines. This caused horrendous atrocities against Jews and heretics, as well as the European religious wars between Catholics and Protestants of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries that resulted in the deaths of millions of people.

My mother was the dearest, sweetest angel. She didn't talk; she sang. She was a tower of strength.

I cannot write music. I cannot play the piano.

I never say a funny thing intentionally.
