If God had wanted to be a big secret, He would not have created babbling brooks and whispering pines.

In the happiest of our childhood memories, our parents were happy, too.

There is no such thing as gratitude unexpressed. If it is unexpressed, it is plain, old-fashioned ingratitude.

Be happy, and a reason will come along.

Sometimes to do the right thing, we must keep a promise we never made.

In this, the late afternoon of my life, I wonder: am I casting a longer shadow or is my shadow casting a shorter me?

First God created time; then God created man that man might, in the course of time, perfect himself; then God decided that He'd better create eternity.
