“When I was young, my brother David and I were farmed off to foster homes, and I spent time in orphanages. My father abandoned us. Here's the most important person in my life, and I never met him.”

“Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.”

“Forgive, son; men are men; they needs must err.”

“It [the Civil War] was a heroic struggle; and, as is inevitable with all such struggles, it had also a dark and terrible side. Very much was done of good, and much also of evil; and, as was inevitable in such a period of revolution, often the same man did both good and evil. For our great good fortune as a nation, we, the people of the United States as a whole, can now afford to forget the evil, or, at least, to remember it without bitterness, and to fix our eyes with pride only on the good that was accomplished.”

“Forgiveness is choosing to love.”

“You have mourned over others; now sit down for a while and weep over your own self.”

“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.”

“Only grace-large doses, frequently displayed, released-will restore the wounded.”
