As one would expect, the Pope’s schedule is quite disciplined—he wakes up at four o’clock each morning and runs on the treadmill for an hour. I’m totally kidding. Nobody’s knees have time for that.

There is a season for everything under the sun—even when we can’t see the sun.

Inner stillness is the key to outer strength.

Strength is gathered on the journey, not granted at the outset.

What good is faith if it causes pain for another? What good is religion if it does no good? What good is any belief that leads to hate?

Prayer is meant to happen everywhere. After all, Daniel prayed in the lion’s den. Jonah prayed in a fish’s stomach. Elijah prayed in the desert. And Jesus prayed on the cross.

Somewhere, somehow, at some unknown intersection between prayer and work, God indwells our humble offering—God indwells us—and turns human actions into spiritual awakenings.

You have to be near Him to hear Him.

I am in control of all decisions that have to do with my image, which means that no one will decide what’s right for me except me. I’m not special. We should all feel this way about ourselves.

No sinner is ever saved after the first twenty minutes of a sermon.

Two religions cannot both be right, because they contradict each other, yet they can both be wrong.

I not only bow to the inevitable; I am fortified by it.

I think my wife and my kids are incredibly good to allow me to stay in public life given that they have to cop a whole lot of collateral attention that, being human, they'd rather not get.

He who lives wisely to himself and his own heart looks at the busy world through the loopholes of retreat, and does not want to mingle in the fray.
