“The emotionally intelligent person knows that they will only ever be mentally healthy in a few areas and at certain moments, but is committed to fathoming their inadequacies and warning others of them in good time, with apology and charm.”

“Thus we may have a duty to rescue a drowning man and, perhaps, if we live on a dangerous coast, to learn lifesaving so as to be ready for any drowning man when he turns up. It may be our duty to lose our own lives in saving him. But if anyone devoted himself to lifesaving in the sense of giving it his total attention—so that he thought and spoke of nothing else and demanded the cessation of all other human activities until everyone had learned to swim—he would be a monomaniac. The rescue of drowning men is, then, a duty worth dying for, but not worth living for. It seems to me that all political duties (among which I include military duties) are of this kind. A man may have to die for our country, but no man must, in any exclusive sense, live for his country. He who surrenders himself without reservation to the temporal claims of a nation, or a party, or a class is rendering to Caesar that which, of all things, most emphatically belongs to God: himself.”

“Given God’s exhaustive foreknowledge, however, God may weakly actualize some desired outcome by directly causing some things that, combined with the contributions of free creatures, God knows will bring about that outcome.”

“Honestly, when people feel the need to resort to dehumanizing slogans, or when they can’t agree with a single aspect of the other person’s view, I start to wonder if they’re compensating for unexamined weaknesses in their own view.”

“To say no to God—and this is what freedom allows—is ultimately to say no to life; for life comes from God.”
