None of us is guaranteed against failure or corruption of any kind; witness what's going on in the world in this moment, the follies of human nature and the failures of human nature.

If God be God and man a creature made in image of the divine intelligence, his noblest function is the search for truth.

Once you accept the existence of God - however you define him, however you explain your relationship to him - then you are caught forever with his presence in the center of all things.

If you spend your whole life waiting for the storm, you'll never enjoy the sunshine.
