It has to be an awfully good meeting to beat having no meeting at all.

Young men speak about the future because they have no past, and old men speak of the past because they have no future.

There's no credit buying on eternal things, none at all. Anything that is worthwhile has to be paid for in advance.

You always hold the key of repentance to unlock the prison door. If they throw the word diversity at you, grab hold of it and say, "I am already diverse, and I intend to stay diverse." If the word is tolerance, grab that one, too, saying, "I expect you to be tolerant of my lifestyle-obedience, integrity, abstinence, repentance." If the word is choice, tell them you choose good, old-fashioned morality.

Faith, to be faith, must center around something that is not known. Faith, to be faith, must go beyond that for which there is confirming evidence. Faith, to be faith, must go into the unknown. Faith, to be faith, must walk to the edge of the light, and then a few steps into the darkness. If everything has to be known, if everything has to be explained, if everything has to be certified, then there is no need for faith. Indeed, there is no room for it.

Happiness will depend on what each of us does with what each has, what we learn from what we do, and what we do thereafter.

Behold, he who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord, remember them no more.
