In bribing the minister of health the master was assured by his attorney that his sincere belief that his profit was in the public interest meant he could not be charged with corruption. Soon the whole world would know the benefits of his Miracle Pond Water! #TolstoysTalesofTrump

The master was an uncanny judge of appearances. Upon entering a room he could instantly tell whose neck was too thin, whose hands were too big or small, or how they would rate on a scale of 1-10. As a result, he was able to hire only the best people. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

Time to apply the Pompeo test. (Though in fairness, I also thought they were from Kansas).

I believe “Richard Rohr: Essential Writings on Love” is the best volume in the @OrbisBooks Modern Spiritual Masters Series. The eds have constructed it as almost a spiritual memoir, tracing the evolution of his journey. @RichardRohrOFM @CACRadicalGrace orbisbooks.com/richard-rohr.…
“Until we get the Trinity right, our metaphysics is off,” the Franciscan friar Richard Rohr said. “We pulled Jesus out of the Trinity, gave him a white beard and white skin.” nyer.cm/OMRYxFt

It was hard for the master to consider any man good enough for his daughter. But with her marriage to Prince Yuri he felt he was not so much losing a daughter as gaining a co-conspirator. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

The master was so dedicated to his exercise regime that in winter months he would often travel 1000 kilometers for an afternoon’s frolic. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

“In the struggle to pursue their vocations—especially if this involved any form of innovation—holy women have typically contended with male authorities who were only too eager to inform them that their visions or desires contradicted the will of God.” @OrbisBooks

The master believed that anti-bribery laws were “horrible.” “If bribery is illegal, only criminals will be able to accept bribes,” he observed, “and that will put our great patriot hoteliers and health inspectors at a grave disadvantage.” #TolstoysTalesofTrump
