Normal social behavior requires that we be able to recognize identities in spite of change. Unless we can do so, there can be no human society as we know it.

Only when we have enough mental stress to force us to see our own bankruptcy of power, do we trust in God, and only when we trust in God can we make a contribution which will not collapse.

Today's practicality is often no more than the accepted form of yesterday's theory.

The view of the local scene through the eyes of a native participant in that scene is a different window.

Fruitful discourse in science or theology requires us to believe that within the contexts of normal discourse there are some true statements.

The universe extends beyond the mind of man, and is more complex than the small sample one can study.

It is also, I would guess, a universal that in all societies people value respectability granted to them.
