Life in New York City can be hard for anyone who has difficulty accommodating paradoxes. 

A few decades ago, I had lunch with Daniel Carroll in Howard County, Maryland, during which he used a pop-up toaster in his grand dining room, which was hung with ancestral portraits.

Do not be content with anything less than the highest ideals! 

A 1973 film directed by Orson Welles was about forgers, and it turned out to be something of a forgery itself.

Reading the cardinal’s The Day Is Now Far Spent, one has the sense of encountering an Old Testament prophet.

Why speak up once more? In my last book, I invited you to silence. However, I can no longer be silent.

Be humble towards God and gentle with your neighbor.

The more childlike we want to be, according to the teaching of our Master, Jesus Christ, the more we shall urge the Holy Spirit to achieve our transformation. 

A spiritual guide should be silent when discretion requires and speak when words are of service.

Something I always like to cover in my missions is the role of feelings and emotions in our moral lives.
