Why should I wish to see God better than this day? I see something of God each hour of the twenty-four, and each moment then, In the faces of men and women I see God, and in my own face in the glass; I find letters from God dropped in the street, and every one is signed by God's name, And I leave them where they are, for I know that others will punctually come forever and ever.

All faults may be forgiven of him who has perfect candor.

Peace is always beautiful.

The real war will never get in the books.

To me, every hour of the light and dark is a miracle. Every cubic inch of space is a miracle.

When lilacs last in the dooryard bloom'd / And the great star early droop'd in the western sky in the night, / I mourn'd, and yet shall mourn with ever-returning spring.

I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don't believe I deserved my friends.
