“Greed and Lust never say, "Enough!”

“It is not sufficient for artistic expressions to serve as "signposts declaring what it is to be fully human." They should impart a vision of what it can be to become divine.”

“Gray areas are just the inability to distinguish between darkness and light.”

“Lust is insatiable, whether it feeds on power, wealth, or flesh. It eventually consumes our morality and ultimately consumes our humanity.”

“When God asks a question, it is always rhetorical.”

“Man's strongest instinct is not sex or self-preservation. it's to level the playing field.”

“An individual who delights at all in the beauty of language does well to avoid becoming an attorney or a legislator.”

“Mankind's first sin gave us the ability to know both good and evil. Our subsequent sins make us increasingly unable to tell the difference.”

“The more we thank God, the less we ask of him.”

“That America is an exceptional nation is unclear only to one who has not been taught its true history. It ceases to be exceptional only when its representative leaders cease to be exceptional. America, it has been said, is a nation of laws, not of men. The more it becomes a nation of men, the less it remains America.”

“Writers block occurs when a writer has nothing to say. Unfortunately not all writers experience it.”

“Lest we lay too heavy a criticism against any government administration--local, state, or federal--we are reminded that American government is representational. Political leaders reflect the people who elect them (as well as those who fail in this civic responsibility) as a mirror reflects those who gaze into it.”

“The nature of a true seeker after beauty is to overlook flaws.”

“Complete honesty is not the same thing as full disclosure.”

“No one can take credit for inspiration or creativity.”

“One problem with today's culture is that we defend too many rights and ignore too many wrongs.”

“We praise God, not because he needs our praise (for all glory resides in and on him), but in order to see him more clearly, enlarge our soul, and relieve our spirit.”

“Faith is such a wonderful thing. Without it, we would be panicky when we feel like we're standing alone and when the things we need and yearn for seem to be beyond our reach.”

“Judging art is like caging a bird. Instead of seeing it soar, you can only watch it flutter.”

“The right to choose does not mean the choice is right.”
