Why is small talk even legal!?

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

We show ourselves to be people of reason only when we listen to advice and when we constantly ‘test ourselves for prejudice’.

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

Never describe the view of an opponent in a way he or she will not own. Rather describe their view so they say, "I couldn't have put it better myself." Only then should you proceed to refute the view. If instead you caricature your opponent-- you persuade no one.

[Bryan A. Garner @BryanAGarner]

I’ve long discouraged lawyers from using the word “shall.” It’s often ambiguous. But if you need to use it today, go ahead.

You’ll understand.

[C. S. Lewis @CSLewisDaily]

"Most people, if they have really learned to look into their own hearts, would know that they do want, and want acutely, something that cannot be had in this world. There are all sorts of things in this world that offer to give it to you, but they never quite keep their promise."

“The effect of the habitual use of the passive voice is to create an illusory animistic world where events have lives, wills, motives, and actions of their own without any human being responsible for them.” —Richard Gambino, “Watergate Lingo"

God will either give us what we ask or give us what we would have asked if we knew everything he knows.
