The only way to gain power in a world that is moving too fast is to learn to slow down. And the only way to spread one’s influence wide to learn how to go deep.

His hands had been reddened, as all men's hands have been, in the slaying before the foundation of the world; now, if he chose, he would dip them again in the same blood. 'Mercy,' he groaned... ↗

Thus Christian humanism is as indispensable to the Christian way of life as Christian ethics and a Christian sociology. ↗
