Lying to ourselves is more deeply ingrained than lying to others.

It is not as a child that I believe and confess Jesus Christ. My hosanna is born of a furnace of doubt.

Let us first fulfill Christ's injunction ourselves and only then venture to expect it of our children. Otherwise we are not fathers, but enemies of our children, and they are not our children, but our enemies, and we have made them our enemies ourselves.

They wanted to speak, but could not; tears stood in their eyes. They were both pale and thin; but those sick pale faces were bright with the dawn of a new future, of a full resurrection into a new life. They were renewed by love; the heart of each held infinite sources of life for the heart of the other.

The darker the night, the brighter the stars, The deeper the grief, the closer is God!

Catch several hares and you won't catch one.

I believe the best definition of man is the ungrateful biped.
