“Oh, God — the lives people try to lead.Oh, God — what a world they try to lead them in.”

“People try to hide behind God to fool others in the world, but they fail to realize that the world is not big enough to hide behind to try and fool God”

“God's way leads always into trial, so far as sight and sense are concerned. Nature always will be tried in God's ways.”

“I don't try to make sense of suffering. I try to make sense of life...I try each day to see God's will...I console myself with the old Negro spiritual, 'Sooner will be done the troubles of this world. I'm going home to live with God.”

“If you believe in resurrection, you believe that the living God will put his world to rights and that if God wants to do that in the future, it is right to try to anticipate that by whatever means in the present.”

“I'm not better than anyone, and I'm not trying to convince people to live by my standards of what's right. I'm trying to convince them to live by their own.”
