“He who gives back at first repulse and without striking the second blow, despairs success, has never been, is not, and never will be, a hero in love, war or business. - Frederick Tudor”
“He who has never hoped can never despair”
“War has been glorified by men who have never been shot at.”
“It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.”
“Only the man who has had to face despair is really convinced that he needs mercy. Those who do not want mercy never seek it. It is better to find God on the threshold of despair than to risk our lives in a complacency that has never felt the need of forgiveness. A life that is without problems may literally be more hopeless than one that always verges on despair.”
“He that has doctrinal knowledge and speculation only, without affection, never is engaged in the business of religion.”
