Today there is no greater force in the molding of the North American mind than the invasion of the imagination by the visual media.
We need to learn how to handle critique and how to address an antagonist.
We do our universities a disservice when we brand them as a lost cause. There are some frightfully honest students out there, and when their questions are respectfully dealt with, many admit their vulnerability.
It can be frustrating to see how society has taken the sacred out of everything.
The happy pagan is wrapped up in the belief that this world and the success it affords are the greatest pursuits in life. He or she feels no need for anything transcendent.
In India, there is a saying that you can touch your nose directly or you can touch your nose the long way around. You need to go the long way around to reach some people.

There is no greater discovery than seeing God as the author of your destiny.
