"To be the father of growing daughters is to understand something of what Yeats evokes with his imperishable phrase 'terrible beauty.' Nothing can make one so happily exhilarated or so frightened: it's a solid lesson in the limitations of self to realize that your heart is running around inside someone else's body. It also makes me quite astonishingly calm at the thought of death: I know whom I would die to protect and I also understand that nobody but a lugubrious serf can possibly wish for a father who never goes away."

"The new father finally hangs up the phone, laughing at absolutely nothing. "Congratulations," I say, when what I really want to tell him is to pick up that baby of his and hold her tight, to set the moon on the edge of her crib and to hang her name up in stars so that she never, ever does to him what I have done to my parents."

"The greatest imagination in all of existence is one that would be able to take 'nothing' and imagine 'something' from 'nothing.' And that is God."
Creation
"Integrity is the antithesis of compromise and the sworn enemy of comfort. It bases its decisions not on how much discomfort we might be able to avoid, but on how much we need to avoid the compromise of comfort."
Character
"Only God understands how incredibly far we've fallen, and only God understands how incredibly far we can rise. And only we can determine if we're going to wallow in the mediocrity that is born of the refusal to understand either."
Faith
"Is safety the 'dream' that will kill all of my other 'dreams?' For the truth is, no 'real' dream is safe."
Dream
"The sure path to tomorrow was plotted in a manger and paved on a cross. And although this sturdy byway is mine for the taking, I have incessantly chosen lesser paths. And maybe it is time to realize that Christmas is a promise that I can walk through the world and never get lost in the woods."
Faith
"If we're missing life it's probably because we're expecting it to reveal itself to us, rather than realizing that life is revealed by us looking for it."
Life
"We lose the understanding that death always begets life of some sort, and that life is always an opportunist, persistently standing ready to build something out of the smoldering ashes and raise something up out of the tangled carnage."
Transformation
"To lead solely on the behalf of those being led is the utter pinnacle of fatherhood, and it is sad that so few ever stand on the summit."
Leadership
"Uncommon solutions can always overcome problems of the most common or uncommon kind if I am sufficiently committed to overcoming them."
Power
"Christmas is everything that God would do, and nothing that we would imagine Him doing."
