The principle part of faith is patience....

Age is not all decay it is the ripening, the swelling, of the fresh life within, that withers and bursts the husk.

Attitudes are more important than facts.

It is not in the nature of politics that the best men should be elected. The best men do not want to govern their fellowmen.

I was always concerned with writing to my age at a particular moment. That was the way I would keep faith with the audience that supported me as I went along.

Is he alone who has courage on his right hand and faith on his left hand?

Before the throne of the Almighty, man will be judged not by his acts but by his intentions. For God alone reads our hearts.

To Follow by faith alone is to follow blindly.

A final word: I am not knowledgeable about the internet. I do not have a computer. I guess that at 74 years of age, I don't have the patience to learn.

One problem with age is that patience begins to ebb.

I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable.

It's amazing. My kids have grown me in ways I never knew possible. The patience I've received and the love I get from them is just amazing.
