Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.

It is not possible to refer a complex difficulty to a single cause.

The way forward is simple - just follow Christ!

Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it. My optimism, then, does not rest on the absence of evil, but on a glad belief in the preponderance of good and a willing effort always to cooperate with the good, that it may prevail.

Faith reinvigorates the will, enriches the affections, and awakens a sense of creativeness. Active faith knows no fear, and it is a safeguard to me against cynicism and despair.

The best preparedness is the one that disarms the hostility of other nations and makes friends of them.
