“As to secrets, Father, I have but one: if the congregation expects a sermon of forty minutes’ length, then give them one of thirty minutes. If they expect thirty, then give them twenty. In all my years as a rabbi, I have never once had a soul complain to me that a sermon was too short.” — Geraldine Brooks
