Frederick Ahl Quotes

“Crewmates, by now we are hardly strangers to evil and hardship.
We've suffered worse. God will grant us an end to these sufferings also. …
Take heart once again and dispel your fears and depression.
Maybe the day'll come when even this will be joy to remember.”

Frederick Ahl
