“Nature is God's first missionary. Where there is no Bible there are sparkling stars. Where there are not preachers there are spring times...If a person has nothing but nature, then nature is enough to reveal something about God.”
“It is under the greatest adversity that there exists the greatest potential for doing good, both for oneself and others.”
“Hence we must support one another, console one another, mutually help, counsel, and advise, for the measure of every man’s virtue is best revealed in time of adversity — adversity that does not weaken a man but rather shows what he is.”
“The greatest religion is to be true to your own nature. Have faith in yourselves.”
“Usually life’s greatest gifts come wrapped in adversity.”
