“In the evening of life we shall be judged on love, and not one of us is going to come off very well, and were it not for my absolute faith in the loving forgiveness of my Lord I could not call on him to come.”

“The great thing about getting older is that you don't lose all the other ages you've been.”

“Because you're not what I would have you be, I blind myself to who, in truth, you are.”
