There are parts of a ship which taken by themselves would sink. The engine would sink. The propeller would sink. But when the parts of a ship are built together, they float. So with the events of my life. Some have been tragic. Some have been happy. But when they are built together, they form a craft that floats and is going places. And I am comforted.

Give the best you have to the highest you know... and do it now.

The larger the island of knowledge, the longer the shoreline of wonder.

Balance the bad news of life with the good news of Christ.

When the dictators and the opportunists are gone, the cross will still stand before us and something in us will say, That is the real thing.

Our ground of hope is that God does not weary of mankind.

The test of courage comes when we are in the minority. The test of tolerance comes when we are in the majority.
