“Most all our worldly troubles are only drifting bubbles. Most all our cares and sorrows are gone with our tomorrows.”

One murder makes a villain, millions a hero. Numbers sanctify.

You’ll find that life is still worthwhile, if you just smile.

Perfect love is the most beautiful of all frustrations because it is more than one can express.

I am at peace with God. My conflict is with man.

I believe in the power of laughter and tears as an antidote to hatred and terror.

Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself.
