“It is impossible for that man to despair who remembers that his Helper is omnipotent.”

“Suicide is an attack on society--an attack on its omnipotence, on its denial of death, and on its own despair.”

“Despair is the price one pays for setting oneself an impossible aim. It is, one is told, the unforgivable sin, but it is a sin the corrupt or evil man never practices. He always has hope. He never reaches the freezing-point of knowing absolute failure. Only the man of goodwill carries always in his heart this capacity for damnation.”

“It is impossible to persuade a man who does not disagree but smiles.”

“He remembered his mother's love for him, and his family's, and his friends', and the enemy's intention to kill him seemed impossible.”

“You praise man who has the ability to perform great actions.I admire man who can deal with great pain and knows no despair.”
