I've been able to sleep with my eyes open ever since I started watching baseball. Drinking is such a necessity to human life that people cannot fathom an individual who, like a child confined to a church pew, gets little enjoyment out of it and would rather do other things.

God's relationship with man does not work in a way in which man stumbles and then God has to drop what he is doing in order to lift him up rather, man stumbles so that God can lift him up. Hence it is utterly impossible to truly diminish his glory.

If I were to envy any persons on this planet, it would be mountain hermits. You often hear old platitudes such as, 'Speak out. Be heard.' On the contrary, a breath of fresh air would be something like: 'Silence, think for at least 15 minutes, and then maybe speak out.
