“Lord, how the day passes! It's like a life - so quickly when we don't watch it and so slowly when we do.”

“When we have a majority we will do it. I think the days of the Lords are quite genuinely numbered.”

“Time moves slowly, but passes quickly.”

“Our trouble is sore indeed when you turn away and will not comfort us. How long the dawn seems coming when we cannot sleep! Oh! those hideous nights when we toss and turn in fever and pain, when we lie, like living men among the dead, staring out into the dark hours that drift so slowly between us and the light. And oh! those still more hideous nights when we sit by another in pain, when the low fire startles us every now and then with a falling cinder, and the tick of the clock seems a hammer beating out the life that we are watching.”

“When this passing world is done,
When has sunk yon, glowing sun,
When we stand with Christ in glory,
Looking o'er life's f1nished story,
Then, Lord, shall I fully know —
Not till then — how much I owe.”

“How can we tell our children that — when we have ourselves so often cried out in bitter despair at what we regarded to be the injustice of life — and when we have so often surrendered?”

“The true test of intelligence is not how much we know how to do, but how we behave when we don't know what to do”

“Rarely do we invest the time to open the book of another's life. When we do, we are usually surprised to find its cover so misleading and its reviews so flawed.”

“Crouching down inside a deep ravine,
Those angry cries pass quickly by, he can't be seen.
So many ways spent hiding in so many undone plans;
Forgetting what it's like to fight when no one understands.”

“Community is life: from it comes our capacity for survival. That is how it was when we lived in caves and so it is today.”
