“At the heart of Christian ethic is humility; at the heart of its parodies, pride. Different roads with different destinations, and the destinations color the character of those who travel by them.”

“There is no straight and easy road to the city of modernity. Whatever the main road chosen, there will be many tempting and ruinous side roads; there will be many marshes and wastes on either side, and many wrecked aspirations will lie there, rusting and gathering dust. Those who arrive at the city will discover it to be quite different from the destination which they and their ancestors originally sought. Yet, some roads are better than others; some destinations are better than others. Even if none is perfect and none corresponds to the voyagers' hope on starting, some of the destinations will turn out to have been worth the travail, worth the effort of the voyagers and of their friends who helped them on their way.”

“The various religions are like different roads converging on the same point. What difference does it makeif we follow different routes, provided we arrive at the same destination?”

“Determined to be different, destined to be the same”

“Happiness is not a destination, it's a method of travel.”

“Every person is different and has a different contribution to make. No one is destined to fail.”
