The world that we live in is full of distractions and pleasures that pull us away from a spiritual life. Even our jobs which are a very necessary and important part of our lives can end up being the altar at which we pray. They consume most of our waking hours and provide the income on which we are dependent in order to take care of our families.

Sport is how poor kids from poor countries pass through the eye of the needle to riches and recognition.

God requires no person to spend his or her life reiterating the gospel to people who will not receive it. He wants everyone to have an opportunity to hear. Then He would have us move on to other areas. The mistake of the church has been that she sits down to convert all the people in one country to the neglect of the great masses who have never had the chance to hear the gospel - not even once!

I think in this country we're committed to developing plays, and many plays I've seen have been rewritten too much.

Even when we are fighting, it should be for a principle not out of passion.

In fact, this is a blackmail of the terrorists at the expense of the suffering of the hostages.

Waterboarding is how we baptize terrorists.

A terrorist can attack any time, any place using any technique and you can't defend everywhere against every technique at every moment.
