“Our whole social order could self-destruct over the obsession with freedom disconnected from responsibility; where choice is imagined to be somehow independent of consequences.”

“The choice of life is not between fame and fortune, nor wealth and poverty, but between good and evil.”

To suffer some anxiety, some depression, some disappointment, even some failure is normal.”

“Happiness will depend on what each of us does with what each has, what we learn from what we do, and what we do thereafter.”
