I have lived long enough to be battered by the realities of life, and not too long to be downed by them.

Something deathless and dangerous in the world sweeps past you...It is something fearful and ominous, something turbulent and to be dreaded, which distends the drama to include the life of nations as well as of men. It is an ageless warning.

No one is worthy of a good home here or in heaven that is not willing to be in peril for a good cause.

So much of TV seems to be chewing gum for the eyes.... TV desperately needs more self-reliance and pride in the medium.

I am as content to die for God's eternal truth on the scaffold as in any other way.

What happiness is, no person can say for another. But no one, I am convinced, can be happy who lives only for himself. The joy of living comes from immersion in something that we know to be bigger, better, more enduring and worthier than we are.

God spare me sclerosis of the curiosity, for the curiosity which craves to keep us informed about the small things no less than the large is the mainspring, the dynamo, the jet propulsion of all complete living.
