"The monk at St. Meinrad took his hands and placed them on my shoulders, peered straight into my eyes and said, â€˜I hope youâ€™ll hear what Iâ€™m about to tell you.Â I hope youâ€™ll hear it all the way down to your toes.Â When youâ€™re waiting, youâ€™re not doing nothing.Â Youâ€™re doing the most important something there is.Â Youâ€™re allowing your soul to grow up.Â If you canâ€™t be still and wait, you canâ€™t become what God created you to be."

“Many women to whom I have preached the doctrine of freedom have weakly replied, 'But who is to support the children?' It seems to me that if the marriage ceremony is needed as a protection to insure the enforced support of children, then you are marrying a man who, you suspect, would under certain conditions, refuse to support his children, and it is a pretty low-down proposition. For you are marrying a man whom you already suspect of being a villain. But I have not so poor an opinion of men that I believe the greater percentage of them to be such low specimens of humanity.”
