"A lot of the situations that we put ourselves in are similar to a cat in a yard full of dogs. We rarely ask ourselves how we got here, (which doesn't help with the question of how we get out of here), all of which rarely keeps us from finding ourselves in the next yard asking the same questions."

"In my limited realm of experience, beginnings led to endings."
"It was funny how the old practices always came around again. It was the rhythm of human enterprise to invent and worship some new approach, to fully reject it a generation later, to realize the need for it again a generation or two after that and then hastily reinvent it as new, usually without its original elegance. Scientists hated to look backward for anything."
"All motion is cyclic. It circulates to the limits of its possibilities and then returns to its starting point."

"I'm in a hole because at some point I found a shovel and started digging. Maybe I should trade my shovels for ladders and start climbing."

"Once I finally understand the immensity of my own impoverishment, I am finally in a position to see the enormity of God's majesty."
"Uncommon solutions can always overcome problems of the most common or uncommon kind if I am sufficiently committed to overcoming them."
"The greatest prayers that I could ever utter come from the heart. And when I pray that way, I rarely need to open my mouth. Therefore, maybe I should think about talking less."
"Minutes remain the same length whether they are held against the span of years or minutes themselves. Yet, when minutes are held against themselves, they seem so terribly brief. Therefore, we'd be wise to celebrate life before minutes are all that's left."
