“Taking the time to get to know those you are called to serve, both the priests as well as the people, make sure that they know that you love them and you are there to serve them and be with them.”

“To all who serve… and those who love them.”

“There are people who just don't believe in the existence of a god. I don't know why because clearly, there is strong evidence that there's a god. But I believe that you serve all the people, not just those who profess to have faith but those with little or no faith. That's how you convert them.”

“Some things, you know, if you say them, it makes them not true?”

“If your memory serves you well, I was gonna confiscate your lace and wrap it up in a sailor's knot and hide it in your case.
And if I knew for sure that it was yours, it was oh so hard to tell, and you know that we shall meet again, if your memory serves you well.”

“If you love people, you take them on trust.”

“Now roll them cases out and lift them amps,
Haul them trusses down and get 'em up them ramps.
Cause when it comes to moving me,
You know you guys are the champs.
But when that last guitar's been packed away,
You know that I still want to play.
So just make sure you got it all set to go
Before you come for my piano.”
