Many a life has been injured by the constant expectation of death. It is life we have to do with, not death. The best preparation for the night is to work diligently while the day lasts. The best preparation for death is life.

It is not in the nature of politics that the best men should be elected. The best men do not want to govern their fellowmen.

Until a man has love, it is well he should have fear. So long as there are wild beasts about, it is better to be afraid than secure.

Where there is no choice, we do well to make no difficulty.

All love will, one day, meet with its return. All true love will, one day, behold its own image in the eyes of the beloved, and be humbly glad.

On Good Friday Jesus died But rose again at Eastertide.....Lord, teach us to understand that your Son died to save us not from suffering but from ourselves, not from injustice...but from being unjust. He died that we might live - but live as he lives, by dying as he died who died to himself.

It is to the man who is trying to live, to the man who is obedient to the word of the Master, that the word of the Master unfolds itself.
