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.

Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there's a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see.

I, who have never heard a sound, tell you there is no silence, and I, who have never seen a ray of light, tell you there is no darkness.

How futile are words in the ears of those who mourn.

Few pleasures there are indeed without an aftertouch of pain, but that is the preservation which keeps them sweet.

While they were saying among themselves it cannot be done, it was done.

Faith is a mockery if it does not teach us that we can build a more complete and beautiful world.
