I am confirmed in my division of human energies. Ambitious people climb, but faithful people build.

I believe that I am very lucky to have close friends who are faithful. From my friends, I have learned the importance of perseverance.

I think that I am a deeply optimistic person.

Theology in general seems to me a substitution of human ingenuity for divine wisdom.

I am not a fancy cook or an ambitious cook. I am a plain old cook.

I'm ambitious. But if I weren't as talented as I am ambitious, I would be a gross monstrosity.
