If language did not affect behavior, it could have no meaning.

Christianity stands or falls as a living program, a way of life, made concrete in the life of man by the life of God through the life of the concretely living Christ.

Language is not merely a set of unrelated sounds, clauses, rules, and meanings; it is a total coherent system of these integrating with each other, and with behavior, context, universe of discourse, and observer perspective.

There is no truth without responsibility following in its wake.

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

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

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.
