I have to not take myself too seriously and I have to realise that if it is meant to be, it will be.

I came from rather humble beginnings.

I think Aussies try to stay humble.

I'm a workaholic, I always try to fill my time with projects.

Perhaps the most revolting character that the United States ever produced was the Christian Businessman.

Whatever hath been written shall remain, Nor be erased nor written o'er again; The unwritten only still belongs to thee: Take heed, and ponder well what that shall be.

One way to appreciate C.S. Lewis is to see how his Christian humility shaped his life and work.

A decision will be made before it's too late or soon thereafter.
