I think there is and ultimate answer in a true religious faith, but it doesn't give you any immediate answers, it doesn't.

My personal attitude toward atheists is the same attitude that I have toward Christians, and would be governed by a very orthodox text: "By their fruits shall ye know them." I wouldn't judge a man by the presuppositions of his life, but only by the fruits of his life. And the fruits - the relevant fruits - are, I'd say, a sense of charity, a sense of proportion, a sense of justice. And whether the man is an atheist or a Christian, I would judge him by his fruits, and I have therefore many agnostic friends.

The more complex the world situation becomes, the more scientific and rational analysis you have to have, the less you can do with simple good will and sentiment.

One of the fundamental points about religious humility is you say you don't know about the ultimate judgment. It's beyond your judgment. And if you equate God's judgment with your judgment, you have a wrong religion.

Where, but in the simplicity of the Gospel, can you hear about both the dignity of man and the misery of man?

Politics deals with a common-sense approach to the imponderables of history, that I think are obscured by a certain kind of rationalism.

The mastery of nature is vainly believed to be an adequate substitute for self mastery.
