The apologist is most entrusted with apologetics when capable of arguing his opponent's position better than his opponent.

Image
To ask, 'How do you do it?' is already starting off on the wrong foot. When reaching for the stars, there does not have to be a 'how' if there is a big enough 'why'.

It is never ridicule, but a compliment, that knocks a philosopher off his feet. He is already positioned for every possible counter-attack, counter-argument, and retort...only to find a big bear hug coming his way.

Part of God's work in his people is synchronizing the heart and the mind thus providing freedom from the deceit of emotion-based beliefs. Emotions are changing while truth is absolute. They don't believe simply because it sounds good, or deep, beautiful, happy, fun, cool, simple, or intelligent to them but because it's true.

Discernment is the son of good judgment and the father of self-control. When mixed with an already clear conscience, the ability to read the true motives of a critic keeps one's conscience both clear and at ease.

The harder you fall, the heavier your heart the heavier your heart, the stronger you climb the stronger you climb, the higher your pedestal.

I only seem negative to the fortunate. That's because I show the less fortunate that they aren't less fortunate after all.

It is the nature of physics to hear the loudest of mouths over the most comprehensive ones.

We are to love God most importantly so that we can grow to love people as he loved us, not so that we can feel more divine and worthy than the worldly.

There's nothing more contagious than the laughter of young children it doesn't even have to matter what they're laughing about.

Women show men beauty in things beyond their ambitions. Women tell men to stop and smell the roses.

Bad luck with women is a determined man's road to success. For every affliction, he makes, out of indignation, yet another advancement in order to exceed the man that the woman chose over him. This goes to show that great men are made great because they once learned how to fight the feeling of rejection.

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.

I am thankful when I am hungry because then I know that when I eat, the food will taste better. Life has taught me that my true contentment rests in hope, and the pleasure itself is secondary. It is self-awareness, not happiness, that maintains peace.
