“Humanity without humility makes true forgiveness impossible. Humanity rises up and demands that I be declared the right one, the good one, the victimized one. But never has that made anything better for me; it’s only embittered me. Humility bows low and claims the greatest victory a human can ever grasp: God’s prize of peace.”

“Now the trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed.”

“What you see and what you hear depends a great deal on where you are standing. It also depends on what sort of person you are.”

“I’ve never really related to the story of the prodigal son. I’m not really rebellious or prone to wasteful spending. But there are two brothers in the story, and after rereading it, I really wish it was called “the prodigal sons.” Both were rebellious. One was just more obvious than the other. One was wayward. The other resentful. But it was the one with resentment who wound up being most resistant to the father in the end. He was so consumed with what his brother had taken, he couldn’t see the bigger picture of what the father was doing.”
