The tragedy is not that things are broken. The tragedy is that things are not mended again.

I have never thought that a Christian would be free of suffering, umfundisi. For our Lord suffered. And I come to believe that he suffered, not to save us from suffering, but to teach us how to bear suffering. For he knew that there is no life without suffering.

It was not his habit to dwell on what could have been, but what could never be.

For who can stop the heart from breaking?

But the one thing that has power completely is love, because when a man loves, he seeks no power, and therefore he has power.

For mines are for men, not for money. And money is not something to go mad about, and throw your hat into the air for. Money is for food and clothes and comfort, and a visit to the pictures. Money is to make happy the lives of children. Money is for security, and for dreams, and for hopes, and for purposes. Money is for buying the fruits of the earth, of the land where you were born.

Forgive us all, for we all have trespasses.
