• If writing with a goal - whether it be evangelistic, apologetic, or didactic - implies propaganda, then all recorded history is propaganda. . . a work shouldn't be dismissed simply because of the strong convictions of the writer. Should we discount the facticity or reliability of the accounts of Nazi concentration camp survivors simply because they passionately recount their story?

• Whenever a new finding is reported to the world people say - It is probably not true. Later on, when the reliability of a new finding has been fully confirmed, people say - OK, it may be true but it has no real significance. At last, when even the significance of the finding is obvious to everybody, people say - Well, it might have some significance, but the idea is not new.

• Our reasons for believing Jesus existed and also that He was who He claimed to be - the God who came down - are the same reasons for believing any fact of history: the documentation is substantial and it passes all the tests of historical reliability. Scholars - both liberal and conservative - overwhelming agree that Jesus of Nazareth was a man of history and the Gospels, on the main, tell His story accurately.

• Mathematicians can and do fill in gaps, correct errors, and supply more detail and more careful scholarship when they are called on or motivated to do so. Our system is quite good at producing reliable theorems that can be solidly backed up. It's just that the reliability does not primarily come from mathematicians formally checking formal arguments; it comes from mathematicians thinking carefully and critically about mathematical ideas.

• De hecho, sin una especificación de los objetivos de una criatura, la idea misma de inteligencia carece de sentido. Un seta podría recibir un premio al genio por lograr con precisión milimétrica y fiabilidad infalible la proeza de sentarse exactamente donde está sentado. Nada nos impediría estar de acuerdo con el científico cognitivo Zenon Pylyshyn en que las rocas son más inteligentes que los gatos porque las rocas tienen el sentido común de marcharse cuando se les da una patada.

• Many Westerners see follow-through and reliability as the most critical factor in how they calculate the trustworthiness of another individual. In some other cultures, who you know and how you're related to other individuals is the most important variable. And for others, it may be as much about your reputation and what others have said about you.

• Conseguir que los países trabajen juntos era mi trabajo diario como Secretaria de Estado. Es más que una sesión fotográfica. Requiere coherencia y fiabilidad. Y, desde luego, más que intentar compensar un año de insultos e insinuaciones visitando a nuestros vecinos durante unas horas y volviendo a casa. Esto no funciona así.
