Man has gone long enough, or even too long, without being man enough to face the simple truth that the trouble with man is man
  James Thurber

 How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? / How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me? / Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; / Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

 He's an idiot. He's selfish. That's why we don't miss him. And we've held it in for far too long. And if you go out there and look long and hard enough, you'll find particulars. But I've got something to say directly to him. And I'm holding back as much as I can because, unlike him, I'll say it man-to-man, face-to-face.

 Everything deep is also simple and can be reproduced simply as long as its reference to the whole truth is maintained. But what matters is not what is witty but what is true.

 For him to be swinging the way he is with the long layoff, ... it's a credit to how hard he worked in rehab. He's one of those guys with a simple swing. It doesn't take long to get it going.

 If he's the best in this conference, that's saying something. He sure is striking the ball well. He doesn't ever seem to be getting himself in any trouble. As long as you are long and straight, you should be in the running. Now, if he can get hot with his putter -- I haven't seen that from him yet.

 Have patience awhile; slanders are not long-lived. Truth is the child of time; ere long she shall appear to vindicate thee.
  Immanuel Kant

 [Wright] is fine and understands. He was wondering when we would need a fifth starter, and I told him that [his being the long man for now] was as much information as I had. Our plan with the long man is to not bring him in to get out of trouble. I'm not saying he won't come into a game in the middle of an inning, but basically, he won't come in to get an important out.

 I don't think there is any simple solution to this. What this is about is taking a long-term view and developing long-term strategies. We're not trying to put the finger in the dike today.

 Behind the complicated details of the world stand the simplicities: God is good, the grown-up man or woman knows the answer to every question, there is such a thing as truth, and justice is as measured and faultless as a clock. Our heroes are simple: they are brave, they tell the truth, they are good swordsmen and they are never in the long run really defeated. That is why no later books satisfy us like those which were read to us in childhood /for those promised a world of great simplicity of which we knew the rules, but the later books are complicated and contradictory with experience; they are formed out of our own disappointing memories.
  Graham Greene

 That went a long way to helping our confidence. Anyone we face now probably won't be better than him. When you face someone like that, you probably won't face someone who throws harder.

 Beauty is only skin deep. I think what's really important is finding a balance of mind, body and spirit. Somebody said to me not too long ago, 'Until you're twenty, you have the face you are born with, and after that you have the face you deserve', and I really loved that - the idea that you wear who you are on your face.

 To me, the only way songwriting works is if you write the truth. It's the only way it works, period. Where I'm going as a writer, what I'm looking for is an expansion of the truth, finding out more truth - especially about me. It's easier to write about me, because I know where I am. As a younger man, it was easy to get to my truth: I was a simple man, having fun. As you get older it gets more complicated - but it's also about opening up a lot more places. After all, that's where the deeper truth resides,

 If you say that the history of the Church is a long succession of scandals, you are telling the truth, though if that is all you say, you are distorting the truth

 If you say that the history of the Church is a long succession of scandals, you are telling the truth, though if that is all you say, you are distorting the truth
