My dreams are all follies.

If a nation has not God that nation must fall, but if a nation has God then all the powers of evil, and all the armies, cannot shake its foundations; no, not even if the whole world is arrayed against it.

People are scared to death of dying. I am the opposite.

I am not alone at all, I thought. I was never alone at all. And that, of course, is the message of Christmas. We are never alone. Not when the night is darkest, the wind coldest, the world seemingly most indifferent. For this is still the time God chooses.

One of my grandsons used to insist, when he was only 3 or 4, that he had been born and had lived in India

No woman has ever been an authentic genius of the stature of men, but that does not enrage me

Those who claim to have had happy lives seem to be silly fools.
