“I believe fear of what we do not know may be the devil's best tool, meant to keep us back from those we long to approach.”

“It happens then that God may be approached; that we may ask of him, but if we do ask of him we must ask in Faith. We must believe. If we do not believe we will not obtain. This principle of faith seems to be the means of approaching the Almighty.”

“One can never tell what will be the result of faithful service rendered, nor do we know when it will come back to us or to those with whom we are associated. The reward may not come at the time, but in dividends later. I believe we will never lose anything in life by giving service, by making sacrifices, and doing the right thing.”

“We knew what we had and what it meant, and though so much had happened since for both of us, there was nothing like those years in Paris, after the war. Life was painfully pure and simple and good, and I believed Ernest was his best self then. I got the very best of him. We got the best of each other.”

“Fear? What has a man to do with fear? Chance rules our lives, and the future is all unknown. Best live as we may, from day to day.”

“We may believe what goes beyond our experience, only when it is inferred from that experience by the assumption that what we do not know is like what we know.”
