What a cruel thing is war: to separate and destroy families and friends, and mar the purest joys and happiness God has granted us in this world; to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors, and to devastate the fair face of this beautiful world.

The real honest man is honest from conviction of what is right, not from policy.

My chief concern is to try to be an humble, earnest Christian.

Say what you mean to do...and take it for granted you mean to do right. Never do a wrong thing to make a friend or keep one...you will wrong him and wrong yourself by equivocation of any kind.

It is good that war is so horrible, or we might grow to like it.

History teaches us hope.

No day should be lived unless it was begun with a prayer of thankfulness and an intercession for guidance.
