My favorite time in the cycles of public life is the time when the Pope is dead and they haven't elected a new one. There's no one in the world who is infallible for those weeks. And you know I don't miss it.

God is stronger than their strength more loving than their uttermost love and in so far as they have loved and sacrificed themselves for others they have obtained the infallible proof that God too lives and loves and gives Himself away.

I think Bond the character is distinct: He's British he has a certain code that he lives by he's incorruptible... he's a classical hero but he's also fallible. He has inner demons inner conflicts and he's a romantic.

If women be educated for dependence that is to act according to the will of another fallible being and submit right or wrong to power where are we to stop?

To fall in love is to create a religion that has a fallible god.

Faith is the first step to understanding. Either it's the Word of an infallible God the fallible words of men or faith in what you personally believe. You've got to have faith in something. Believe me.

But I recognize no infallible authority even in special questions consequently whatever respect I may have for the honesty and the sincerity of such or such an individual I have no absolute faith in any person.

We like security: we like the pope to be infallible in matters of faith and grave doctors to be so in moral questions so that we can feel reassured.

Unwearied ceaseless effort is the price that must be paid for turning faith into a rich infallible experience.

Our criminal justice system is fallible. We know it even though we don't like to admit it. It is fallible despite the best efforts of most within it to do justice. And this fallibility is at the end of the day the most compelling persuasive and winning argument against a death penalty.
