In the absence of fear there is little faith.

Contrary to what the politicians and religious leaders would like us to believe, the world won't be made safer by creating barriers between people.

John Hall, my geography teacher at school inspired me to a lifelong interest in geography and a curiosity about our world which has stayed with me through my life. Geography is a living, breathing subject, constantly adapting itself to change. It is dynamic and relevant. For me geography is a great adventure with a purpose.

If atheists are deaf to the word of God, then theists are blind to the ways of man.

I don't see why it should be remarkable that you can acquire a reputation for fairness and decency. Those are qualities shared by so many people. And the great majority of people I meet are decent people, just trying to navigate their way through the world without causing too much trouble.

The trouble with travelling back later on is that you can never repeat the same experience.

In the absence of fear there is little faith.
