It is, after all, the responsibility of the expert to operate the familiar and that of the leader to transcend it.

People ask the difference between a leader and a boss. The leader leads, and the boss drives.

But Satan now is wiser than of yore, and tempts by making rich, not making poor.

Theology is unnecessary.

Christ managed to boil down an awful lot of commandments to a few very simple rules for living. It’s when you go backwards through the ‚begats‘ and the Garden of Eden, and you start thinking, ‚Hang on, that’s a big punishment for eating one lousy apple… There’s a human-rights issue.‘

I have spent many years of my life in opposition, and I rather like the role.

To rule children by force is the technique of Satan, not of the Savior.
