There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair.

Confidence…thrives on honesty, on honor, on the sacredness of obligations, on faithful protection and on unselfish performance. Without them it cannot live.

I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving: To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it—but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor.

Grant me, O Lord my God, a mind to know you, a heart to seek you, wisdom to find you, conduct pleasing to you, faithful perseverance in waiting for you, and a hope of finally embracing you. Amen.

To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.

Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

Man must cease attributing his problems to his environment, and learn again to exercise his will - his personal responsibility in the realm of faith and morals.

No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see the possibilities - always see them, for they're always there.

Faith in yourself matters.

As you start to walk on the way, the way appears.

If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts; but if he will be content to begin with doubts he shall end in certainties.
