“Suffering in life can uncover untold depths of character and unknown strength for service. People who go through life

Only deeply plowed earth can yield bountiful harvests.”

“I never try to defend religion. Religion has spawned wars. Many so-called religious people have been characterized by prejudice, pride, and bickering . . . I would call you to a simple faith in Jesus, who said, “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
