“Doing good does not excuse us from doing better.”

“Try again. Fail again. Fail better." (quoted from Samuel Buckett)... Failing does not make us a failure. But not trying to do better, to be better, does make us fools.”

“The good that may come out of the loss does not erase its badness or excuse the wrong done. Nothing can do that.”

“Instead of regretting what we cannot do, it is better to do anything we can do. Even if what we do does not bring us to our goal, it brings us much closer to it.”

“Many of us ask what can I, as one person, do, but history shows us that everything good and bad starts because somebody does something or does not do something,”

“Never does our good God leave us save to hold us better; never does He let go of us save to keep us better; never does He wrestle with us save to give Himself up to us and to bless us.”
