We’ve all got a terminal illness. It’s called life.

We are developing in the United States a huge underclass of unwanted people, many of them the descendants of the exploitation of the South American and Latin American countries by American piratical capitalism.

Pray to God that your attachment to such transitory things as wealth, name, and creature comforts may become less and less every day.

Let no day slip over without some comfort received from the mouth of God.
