“He means to succeed, and a man who has centuries before him can afford to wait and to go slow.”

“We can afford to follow Him to failure. Faith dares to fail. The resurrection and the judgment will demonstrate before all worlds who won and who lost. We can wait.”

“A man can succeed at almost anything for which he has unlimited enthusiasm.”
