Should Have Knowing Charity

More From John Lithgow

I will make love my greatest weapon and none on whom i call can defend against its force. my reasoning they may counter; my speech they may distrust; my apparel they may disapprove; my face they may reject; and even my bargains may cause them suspicion; yet my love will melt all hearts liken to the sun whose rays soften the coldest clay. i will greet this day with love in my heart.

Women who disapprove of men - and there's plenty to disapprove of - should remember how we started out, and how far we had to travel.

You take insult where none is intended, but if you will find insult where none is meant, then perhaps i should try harder to insult on purpose.

Myths are about the human struggle to deal with the great passages of time and life--birth, death, marriage, the transitions from childhood to adulthood to old age. they meet a need in the psychological or spiritual nature of humans that has absolutely nothing to do with science. to try to turn a myth into a science, or a science into a myth, is an insult to myths, an insult to religion, and an insult to science. in attempting to do this, creationists have missed the significance, meaning, and sublime nature of myths. they took a beautiful story of creation and re-creation and ruined it.

Defend the church. defend the family. defend the non-profit community. defend them against a government that wants to weaken them.

When we say that the arabs are the aggressors and we defend ourselves — this is only half the truth. as regards our security and life we defend ourselves and our moral and physical position is not bad. we can face the gangs... and were we allowed to mobilize all our forces we would have no doubts about the outcome... but the fighting is only one aspect of the conflict which is in its essence a political one. and politically we are the aggressors and they defend themselves. militarily, it is we who are on the defensive who have the upper hand but in the political sphere they are superior.

I wish i had the courage not to fight and doubt everything... i wish, just once, i could say, 'this. this is good enough. just because i choose it.

Wars are fought to gain a certain objective. war itself is not the objective; victory is not the objective; you fight to remove the obstruction that comes in the way of your objective. if you let victory become the end in itself then you've gone astray and forgotten what you were originally fighting about.

I don`t know why, but i love the dog eat dog nature of tennis. it`s real, it`s brutal and there`s no hiding place - it's like a one to one street fight. i love the intensity that comes with knowing you walk off court either a winner or a loser. it`s daunting but very exciting. there is no one to blame except yourself, no one cares who comes second.
