Human Salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted.

The strongest principle of growth lies in human choice.

We must make the choices that enable us to fulfill the deepest capacities of our real selves.

Each man must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against your conviction is to be an unqualified and inexcusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let men label you as they may.

He who forecasts all perils will never sail the sea.

Many live in dread of what is coming. Why should we? The unknown puts adventure into life. ... The unexpected around the corner gives a sense of anticipation and surprise. Thank God for the unknown future.

The tragedy is not that things are broken. The tragedy is that they are not mended again.

Things turn out best for people who make the best of the way things turn out.

To a brave man, good and bad luck are like his right and left hand. He uses both.

Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.

Trying to do good to people without God's help is no easier than making the sun shine at midnight. You discover that you've got to abandon all your own preferences, your own bright ideas, and guide souls along the road our Lord has marked out for them. You mustn't coerce them into some path of your own choosing.

Fortune truly helps those who are of good judgment.
