“Love to be real, it must cost—it must hurt—it must empty us of self.”

“A sacrifice to be real must cost, must hurt, and must empty ourselves. Give yourself fully to God. He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in his love than in your weakness.”

“We must nurture and love, if life is to have any real meaning. But First we must find a way to survive against the things that prevent us from doing so.”

“It will cost the State money, it will cost industry money, it will cost the mills and mines money, and it will cost municipalities money but it is money that must be spent and must be spent now because we face a problem that must be solved now. To defer action will cost a lot more money later and possibly it will then be too late.”

“What must be done must be done, whatever the price, the cost, the pain. One day we all must walk through fire.”

“That is the rule of the Wilds: You must be bigger and stronger and tougher. You must hurt or be hurt.”
