It's not about me, it's about you, the customer. And if I am effective in making what I do about you, and I can enhance you and elevate you, you will support me forever.

When we get up in the morning, what we put on is very much a reflection of how we see the world and how we want it to see us.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Our morning choices in attire reflect our worldview and our desired perception by others.
This quote emphasizes that the way we choose to present ourselves, particularly through our clothing, is not just a matter of vanity but a profound reflection of our inner beliefs and how we wish to connect with the world around us. Each outfit can convey messages about our identity, mood, and outlook on life, suggesting that our external choices significantly influence how we perceive ourselves and how others perceive us in return.

If... we choose death rather than true life, God does not take away the power that He gave us. And not only does He not take it away, but He reminds us of it again and again. From the dawn till the dusk of life? For, indeed, no one can come to Christ, as He Himself said in the Gospels, unless the Father draws him (cf. Jn. 6:44).

Don't seek God in temples. He is close to you. He is within you. Only you should surrender to Him and you will rise above happiness and unhappiness.

How rare it is to find a soul quiet enough to hear God speak.

As to the fable that there are Antipodes, that is to say, men on the opposite side of the earth where the sun rises when it sets to us, men who walk with their feet opposite ours, that is on no ground credible. Even if some unknown landmass is there, and not just ocean, there was only one pair of original ancestors, and it is inconceivable that such distant regions should have been peopled by Adam's descendants.

This is so American, man: either make something your God and cosmos and then worship it, or else kill it.

Faith does not, in the realist, spring from the miracle but the miracle from faith. If the realist once believes, then he is bound by his very realism to admit the miraculous also.
