It is up to us in our time to choose, and choose wisely, between the hard but necessary task of preserving peace and freedom, and the temptation to ignore our duty and blindly hope for the best while the enemies of freedom grow stronger day by day.

AT THE END OF WORLD WAR II, I was a New Dealer to the core. I thought government could solve all our postwar problems just as it had ended the Depression and won the war. I didn't trust big business. I thought government, not private companies, should own our big public utilities; if there wasn't enough housing to shelter the American people, I thought government should build it; if we needed better medical care, the answer was socialized medicine.

Now, with God's help, I shall become myself.

Faith is the most important factor in religious questions. If I am capable of grasping God objectively, I do not believe, but precisely because I cannot do this I must believe. If I wish to preserve myself in faith I must constantly be intent upon holding fast the objective uncertainty, so as to remain out upon the deep, over seventy thousand fathoms of water, still preserving my faith.

The tedium vitae so constant in antiquity was due to the fact that the outstanding individual was what others could not be ; the inspiration of modern times will be that any man who finds himself, religiously speaking, has only achieved what every one can achieve .

What matters is to find my purpose, to see what it really is that God wills that I shall do; the crucial thing is to find a truth that is truth for me, to find the idea for which I am willing to live and die

Real value isn't in what you own, drive, wear or live. The greater value is found in love and life, health and strength, friends and family!

Make sure you are doing what God wants you to do--then do it with all your strength.

Be passionate about something and lean to that strength.

True beauty is knowing who you are and believing in yourself. Happy people know their purpose, have courage to fight for it and strength to keep going.

The strength of patience hangs on our capacity to believe that God is up to something good for us in all our delays and detours.

When you take time with God and listen to His voice, He renews your strength and enables you to handle life.
