I do not pretend to understand the moral universe; the arc is a long one. . . . But from what I see I am sure it bends toward justice.

A happy wedlock is a long falling in love.

I am conscious of eternal life.

The great basis of the Christian faith is compassion; do not dismiss that from your hearts, neither will your Maker.
