“Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into light.”

“The unselfish effort to bring cheer to others will be the beginning of a happier life for ourselves.”

“Smell is a potent wizard that transports you across thousands of miles and all the years you have lived. The odors of fruits waft me to my southern home, to my childhood frolics in the peach orchard.

Even as I think of smells, my nose is full of scents that start awake sweet memories of summers gone and ripening fields far away.”

“What I'm looking for is not out there, it is in me.”

“We can do anything we want as long as we stick to it long enough.”

“It is not the strength of your faith but the object of your faith that actually saves you.”

“There are moments when I feel that the Shylocks, the Judases, and even the Devil are broken spokes in the great wheel of good which shall in due time be mad whole.”
