Happy is the son whose faith in his mother remains unchallenged.

Life is a battle between faith and reason in which each feeds upon the other drawing sustenance from it and destroying it.

Faith and doubt cannot exist in the same mind at the same time for one will dispel the other.

Faith embraces many truths which seem to contradict each other.

If you desire to be pure have firm faith and slowly go on with your devotional practices without wasting your energy in useless scriptural discussions and arguments. Your little brain will otherwise be muddled.

I had faith in Israel before it was established I have in it now. I believe it has a glorious future before it - not just another sovereign nation but as an embodiment of the great ideals of our civilization.

Other countries such as Israel successfully employ behavior detection techniques at their airports but the bloated ineffective bureaucracy of TSA has produced another security failure for U.S. transportation systems.

The rise of China as a new power is another great challenge for the US. Our failure to properly handle Germany and Japan earlier in the 20th century cost us and the world dearly. We must not make this same mistake with China.
