“Tolerance is the price we pay for living in a free, pluralistic society.”

“We live in a society that shuns guilt, hardly knows it. It is drummed into us: "Don't feel guilty." No one wants to pay the price of reconciliation, of atonement, of forgiveness.”

“The fact that the price must be paid is proof it is worth paying.”

“A civilized society is one which tolerates eccentricity to the point of doubtful sanity.”

“We cain't keep lookin' back at out losses. We gotta keep marchin' down that road ahead to the Promised Land. We gotta give up our sorrows to make way for our joys.”

“I know when God gives us somethin' good in this world we gotta hold on long as we can.”

“Sometimes we got to run to get to where the good Lawd need us to go. An' sometimes we got to just sit there an' listen for Him to tell us what to do, even if that mean we gotta suffer a li'l while.”
