The central problem of our age is not liberalism or modernism, nor the old Roman Catholicism or the new Roman Catholicism, nor the threat of communism, nor even the threat of rationalism and the monolithic consensus which surrounds us. All these are dangerous but not the primary threat.

The central problem is always in the midst of the people of God, not in the circumstances surrounding them.

Failure to summon forth the courage to risk a nondogmatic and nonevasive stance on such crucial existential matters can also blur our ethical vision. If our actions in the world are to stem from an encounter with what is central in life, they must be unclouded by either dogma or prevarication. Agnosticism is no excuse for indecision. If anything, it is a catalyst for action; for in shifting concern away from a future life and back to the present, it demands an ethics of empathy rather than a metaphysics of fear and hope.

People vastly overestimate the ability of central planners to improve on the independent action of diverse individuals.

The mind assumes that it understands whatever it controls. This is the central problem in a mind-dominated world.

The answers to healing your life will be found in the inner strength of your heart.
