“The true meaning of existence is disclosed in moments of living in the presence of God”

“A prophet's true greatness is his ability to hold God and man in a single thought.”

“In our own lives the voice of God speaks slowly, a syllable at a time. Reaching the peak of years, dispelling some of our intimate illusions and learning how to spell the meaning of life-experiences backwards, some of us discover how the scattered syllables form a single phrase.”

“Mundus vult decipi'—the world wants to be deceived. To live without deception presupposes standards beyond the reach of most people whose existence is largely shaped by compromise, evasion and mutual accommodation. Could they face their weakness, their vanity and selfishness, without a mask?”

“God is either of no importance, or of supreme importance.”

“Just to be is a blessing. Just to live is holy.”

“Prayer is our humble answer to the inconceivable surprise of living.”
