“All living souls welcome whatever they are ready to cope with; all else they ignore, or pronounce to be monstrous and wrong, or deny to be possible.”

“For a man who has done his natural duty, death is as natural as sleep.”

“What ought to be imperfect in time is, because of its very imperfection there, perfect when viewed under the form of eternity. To live, to live just as we do, that—if we could only realize it—is the purpose and the crown of living. We must seek improvement; we must be dissatisfied with ourselves; that is the appointed attitude, the histrionic pose, that is to keep the ball rolling. But while we feel this dissatisfaction we are perfectly satisfactory, and while we play our game and constantly lose it, we are winning the game for God.”

“School was a very cruel environment, and I was a loner. But I learnt to get hurt, and I learnt to cope with it.”

“I knew I could not cope with the future unless I was able to rediscover the past.”

“People with success are less able to cope because you're used to being on Mount Everest and when it's gone, what do you do?”
