His Name, indelible, upon our dust;
And from the ashes of our self-despair,

Cementing sad experience with grace,
Fashions a stronger temple of His own.

In a world where people are too languid to make something of themselves out of effort, I sell them hope. What they do with it is up to them. Invariably they drink it and then hurl it down a gutter, but that’s their choice and their freedom. I won’t judge them.

All great men remain undeterred during dark times.

A blessed hope, a blessed life.

The sky and the sun are always there. It's the clouds that come and go.

When all else fails, stare straight into the sun.
