“Oh, God, give me grace for this day. Not for a lifetime, nor for next week, nor for tomorrow, just for this day. Direct my thoughts and bless them Direct my work and bless it. Direct the things I say and give them blessing, too. Direct and bless everything that I think and speak and do.

He will become a trusted friend, and you will discover that your example will attract many friends who will take courage from your strength of character.”

“Politics becomes a part of a writer's working life. The writer's protagonists are born in the context of the feelings that this atmosphere evokes.
