Like it or not, we either add to the darkness of indifference and out-and-out evil which surrounds us or we light a candle to see by.

In the evening of life we shall be judged on love, and not one of us is going to come off very well, and were it not for my absolute faith in the loving forgiveness of my Lord I could not call on him to come.

My dear, I'm seldom sure of anything. Life at best is a precarious business, and we aren't told that difficult or painful things won't happen, just that it matters. It matters not just to us but to the entire universe.

Maybe you have to know the darkness before you can appreciate the light.

A great painting or symphony or play, doesn't diminish us, but enlarges us, and we, too, want to make our own cry of affirmation to the power of Creation behind the Universe.

It is possible to suffer and despair an entire lifetime and still not give up the art of laughter.

It does not matter that we cannot fathom this mystery. The only real problem comes when we think that we have.
