Letter "W" » William Sloane Coffin, Jr. Quotes
«Diversity may be the hardest thing for a society to live with, and perhaps the most dangerous thing for a society to be without.»
«Christians have to listen to the world as well as to the Word -- to science, to history, to what reason and our own experience tell us. We do not honor the higher truth we find in Christ by ignoring truths found elsewhere.»
«All of life is the exercise of risk.»
«There is no smaller package in the world that that of a person all wrapped up in himself.»
«When we live at each other's mercy, we had better learn to be merciful.»
«When a man is drowning, it may be better for him to try to swim than to thrash around waiting for divine intervention.»
«The temptation to moralize is strong; it is emotionally satisfying to have enemies rather than problems, to seek out culprits rather than the flaws in the system.»
«So don't let money tell you who you are. Don't let power tell you who your are. Don't let enemies and -- for God's sake -- don't let your sins tell you who you are. Don't prove yourself. That's taken care of. All we have to do is express ourselves. It's difficult, but we're a lot more alive in pain than in complacency.»
«A spiritual person tries less to be godly than to be deeply human.»
«If your heart is full of fear, you won't seek truth; you'll seek security. If a heart is full of love, it will have a limbering effect on the mind.»
