“Spring is God's way of saying, 'One more time!'” — Robert Orben Quote

“Spring is God's way of saying, 'One more time!'”

“A graduation ceremony is an event where the commencement speaker tells thousands of students dressed in identical caps and gowns that 'individuality' is the key to success.”

“What bothers me about TV is that it tends to take our minds off our minds.”

“Washington is a place where politicians don't know which way is up and taxes don't know which way is down.”

“There's so much pollution in the air now that if it weren't for our lungs there'd be no place to put it all.”

“President Ford used humor a great deal.”

“Grow in the root of all grace, which is faith. Believe God's promises more firmly than ever. Allow your faith to increase in its fullness, firmness, and simplicity.”

“My religion is based on truth and non-violence. Truth is my God. Non-violence is the means of realising Him.”

“There is a beauty in paradox when it comes to talking about things of ultimate concern. Paradox works against our tendency to stay superficial in our faith, or to rest on easy answers or categorical thinking. It breaks apart our categories by showing the inadequacy of them and by pointing to a reality larger than us, the reality of gloria, of light, of beyond-the-beyond. I like to call it paradoxology—the glory of paradox, paradox-doxology—which takes us somewhere we wouldn’t be capable of going if we thought we had everything all wrapped up, if we thought we had attained full comprehension. The commitment to embracing the paradox and resisting the impulse to categorize people (ourselves included) is one of the ways we follow Jesus into that larger mysterious reality of light and love.”

“There is only one all-pervading God. It has no religion, no incarnation. It is free from all contaminations.”

“Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.”
