“I began to appreciate that authentic truth is never simple and that any version of truth handed down from on high - whether by presidents, prime ministers, or archbishops - is inherently suspect. The powerful, I came to see, reveal truth only to the extent that it suits them.” PresidentSimplePowerfulTruth IsAppreciateVersionsSuitsMinistersSuspectsPrimePrime Minister Book:Washington Rules: America's Path to Permanent War Source: Washington Rules: America's Path to Permanent War
“I am what some would say 'holy, and wholly other than you.' The problem is that many folks try to grasp some sense of who I am by taking the best version of themselves, projecting that to the nth degree, factoring in all the goodness they can perceive, which often isn't much, and then call that God. And while it may seem like a noble effort, the truth is that it falls pitifully short of who I really am. I'm not merely the best version of you that you can think of. I am far more than that, above and beyond all that you can ask or think.” ThinkingTryingMayProblemSeemsFallAsksEffortHolyTruth IsGoodnessDegreesFolksNobleWho I AmVersionsPerceiveShackAbove And BeyondShack BookFactoring Author:William P.
