Even at my age, I'm trying to improve. Never give up, no matter what. Even if you get last place - finish.

The great commandment is that we preach the gospel to every creature, but neither God nor the Bible says anything about forcing it down people's throats.

Every soldier should learn survival on land, sea, and in the air.

People say, on the raft, you must have hallucinated. Baloney. We were sharper after 47 days than the day we started because our minds were empty of all the war and contamination; we had clean minds to fill with good thoughts. Every day we'd exercise our minds.

Yet a part of you still believes you can fight and survive no matter what your mind knows. It's not so strange. Where there's still life, there's still hope. What happens is up to God.

God has given me so much. He expects so much out of me.

If you can take it, you can make it.
