I recently reread an article of mine written in 1964, and I think it is still valid. There is not much difference. Many of the items on the agenda 37 years ago are still there.

Peace enforcement is a much more difficult kind of operation than peacekeeping.

Finland had a civil war less than 100 years ago, just like in Ireland. If you look at the history of newly independent nations, civil war is almost every time present, even in the United States.

The Baltic Sea is becoming more and more polluted. Not everybody living near the shore of the Baltic Sea is protecting it. It is the water of life for countries like Finland and Sweden.

Be in love with your life, every detail of it.

I know who I was, I can tell you who I may have been, but I am, now, only in this line of words I write.

The nice thing about being a writer is that you can make magic happen without learning tricks.

That's the exact concept behind the music: to take that kind of, I guess whatever you want to call it, jazz sensibility - but not have it be about solos.

Making a company is a great way to improve the world while improving yourself.

Work and wait, work and wait is what God says to us in creation.

It's very important that we start creating new content again. We can only build on nostalgia so much before we have nothing left to build on.

I think people who come into my home feel comfortable and welcome and loved. And the biggest thing in my living room (the fireplace) is in and of itself an expression of love.

There is no affliction, trial, or labor difficult to endure, when we consider the torments and sufferings which Our Lord Jesus Christ endured for us.
