In this tenuous life there are few absolutes. We therefore
must learn to live with uncertainty. And wait upon revelation
to correct our illusions

Have you ever wondered why God does not appear to you
and reveal the truth of the matter? Perhaps you are not ready
yet and you could not withstand his presence or understand
his word


We are not called upon to live beyond our abilities,
but to discover them. And just do the best we can.
What we consider our best, however, is usually not our
best at all, but what is convenient and easy


Life must be lived through, not just thought about.


The point of it all is simply that we are not in control. And to
insist that we are, or should be, or try to be, is to perpetuate our
misery. The only thing we are in control of is ourselves. And learning
to do just that takes a lifetime


Neither foresight nor mid-sight gives us as much insight as
does hindsight


Our lives are not circumscribed solely by our time, but
by all time


It is our preferences, not our proofs, which cause us to decide whether
we will abide by a certain belief or not


Isn’t it interesting how we allow the irrational to obviate
the rational

I think we make a GREAT step toward happiness and real progress when we finally realize that we are truly not in control, except inasmuch as we learn to have control over our own selves.
