• In a way, America's the shadow of everything I do, everywhere I go, everything I carry, no matter if I travel to the ends of the earth.

• So let us begin anew -- remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof.

• You who let yourselves feel: enter the breathing
  That is more than your own.
  Let it brush your cheeks
  As it divides and rejoins behind you.
  
  The trees you planted in childhood have grown
  Too heavy. You cannot bring them along.
  Give yourselves to the air, to what you cannot hold.

  Rainer Maria Rilke

• When an archer is shooting for nothing, he has all his skill. If he shoots for a brass buckle, he is already nervous. If he shoots for a prize of gold, he goes blind or sees two targets - He is out of his mind! His skill has not changed. But the prize divides him. He cares. He thinks more of winning than of shooting- And the need to win drains him of power.

• I think that these are the kinds of things that we can debate vigorously. We don't have to ultimately divide over them and I think when we debate, we should do so in a collegial fashion, with a great deal of gentleness and humbleness, recognizing that we can learn from one another. Again, even with people who have moved over from the Kingdom of Christ to the kingdom of the cults, we need to treat them with love and with gentleness and with a heart to restore them to proper life and doctrine.
