Unrest of the spirit is a mark of life; one problem after another presents itself and in the solving of them we can find our greatest pleasure.

It's really easy to get caught up in outward appearance or attributes that I have or talents that I have and focus my worth on those things. And none of those things really have anything to do with my identity. And my identity is a child of God. And I think it's important to remember that God has created each of us uniquely and it doesn't make sense to compare ourselves to other people because God has a different plan and a purpose for each person that he's made. And so we need to just remember that we are created perfectly to fulfill the plan that God has for our individual life.

Life for both sexes is arduous, difficult, a perpetual struggle. It calls for gigantic courage and strength. More than anything it calls for confidence in oneself. Without self-confidence we are as babes in the cradle.

It is inevitable that some defeat will enter even the most victorious life. The human spirit is never finished when it is defeated... it is finished when it surrenders.

We found what we could at that time - the truth. If somebody else can find something else which we didn't find, that, of course, is a duty on their part, as is the truth. It will be the truth.

The burden therefore rests with the American legal community

The burden therefore rests with the American legal community and with the American human-rights lobbies and non-governmental organizations. They can either persist in averting their gaze from the egregious impunity enjoyed by a notorious war criminal and lawbreaker, or they can become seized by the exalted standards to which they continually hold everyone else. The current state of suspended animation, however, cannot last. If the courts and lawyers of this country will not do their duty, we shall watch as the victims and survivors of this man pursue justice and vindication in their own dignified and painstaking way, and at their own expense, and we shall be put to shame.

I have discovered that when we least care to admit it, we feel more confused than thankful, more caught than called, more worried than gracious. In humble moments when we can no longer gloss over the roughness of life, gratitude has a way of pushing out the real soreness of feeling cheated or inadequate to the rugged realities of the world. Gratitude seemed to be a handy response to dodge the tough things for which there are no simple or comforting answers.
