To me I think artists in general make a statement - and for the rest of their lives - every album, every book - are variations on a theme.
Man is born with uprightness. If one loses it, he will be lucky if he escapes with his life.
He who learns but does not think, is lost. He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger.
Consideration for others is the basis of a good life, a good society.
The main object of conciliation lies in reaching a solution to a case based upon morals and with a warm heart.
Do not use a cannon to kill a mosquito.
Ability will never catch up with the demand for it.
There is a real hunger for spiritual things in today's culture; people are seeking something spiritual, something beyond themselves. That's the good news. The bad news is people are not getting it at church because the church is singing songs, preaching messages, doing programs, and taking offerings for itself.
If they learn easily, they are penalized for being bored when they have nothing to do; if they excel in some outstanding way, they are penalized as being conspicuously better than the peer group. The culture tries to make the child with a gift into a one-sided person, to penalize him at every turn, to cause him trouble in making friends and to create conditions conducive to the development of a neurosis. Neither teachers, the parents of other children, nor the child peers will tolerate a Wunderkind.
Peace is a blessing that comes to those who trust in God. It is established through individual righteousness. True personal peace comes about through eternal vigilance and constant righteous efforts.
I'd rather work with a grassroots organization than in politics. I'm not sure I'd be the best politician because I don't think I'm good about tactfully tiptoeing around questions in the right way.
