Wise anger is like fire from a flint: there is great ado to get it out; and when it does come, it is out again immediately.

To look forward and not back, To look out and not in, and To lend a hand.

Life seeks life and loves life. The opening of a catkin of a willow, in the flight of the butterfly, in the chirping of a tree-toad or the sweep of an eagle - my life loves to see how others live, exults in their joy, and so far is partner in their great concern.

Never bear more than one kind of trouble at a time. Some people bear three - all they have had, all they have now, and all they expect to have.

I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do. What I can do, I should do. And what I should do, by the grace of God, I will do.

War - hard apprenticeship of freedom
