There is no limit to the noble aspirations which the words "my country" may evoke.

Faith is an act of rational choice, which determines us to act as if certain things were true, and in the confident expectation that they will prove to be true.

There are no rewards or punishments - only consequences.

Faith always contains an element of risk, of venture; and we are impelled to make the venture by the affinity and attraction which we feel in ourselves.

Experience proves that none is so cruel as the disillusioned sentimentalist.

Don't break the silence unless you can improve on it.

Bereavement is the sharpest challenge to our trust in God; if faith can overcome this, there is no mountain which it cannot remove.
