“Men sooner forget the death of their father than the loss of their patrimony”
“Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death.”
“The sooner I learn to forget myself in the desire that He may be glorified, the richer will be the blessing that prayer will bring to myself. No one ever loses by what he sacrifices to the Father.”
“Men grow tired of sleep, love, singing and dancing, sooner than war.”
“Not very good with death? Father was a military man, and military men lived with death; lived for death; lived on death. To a professional soldier, oddly enough, death was life.”
“Loss takes up inside of everything sooner or later and eats right through it.”
