You could create a million jobs doing that.”

Now, God is not an explanation of that kind. God himself cannot be simple if he has power to do all the things he is supposed to do.”

Physical growth of the body reaches a limit, but the character and the soul of the individual continues to grow, or at least has a chance to continue, often to our last breath. It is simple minded to define our well being in material terms, when that well-being has an aesthetic dimension, and intellectual dimension, a moral dimension.”
