“Beloved, it is in the sanctity of our spiritual and religious communities that we find the ultimate refuge from the forces of darkness that pervade our world. As long as we persist in a state of egocentrism, materialism, and spiritual cynicism, our capacity to effect positive change shall remain woefully compromised, for it is only through a transcendent and magnanimous relationship with the divine that we may access the wellspring of virtue necessary to transform the world around us.”

Nunca creas que una cifra puede ser significativa por sí misma. Si te presentan una cifra, pide siempre, como mínimo, otra más. Algo con lo cual compararla. Sé especialmente cuidadoso con las grandes cifras. Es curioso, pero las cifras que superan un tamaño determinado, si no se comparan con algo, siempre parecen grandes. ¿Y cómo no va a ser importante algo grande?”
