I could have married again while I was still young. A congregation likes to have a married minister, and I was introduced to every niece and sister-in-law in a hundred miles. In retrospect, I'm very grateful for whatever reluctance it was that kept me alone until your mother came. Now that I look back, it seems to me that in all that deep darkness a miracle was preparing. So I am right to remember it as a blessed time, and myself as waiting in confidence, even if I had no idea what I was waiting for. ↗

It's better to get smart than to get mad. I try not to get so insulted that I will not take advantage of an opportunity to persuade people to change their minds. ↗

It's unfortunate that you don't see the loyalty from management to players and players to management like we used to see in the old days. ↗

I have learned that only two things are necessary to keep one's wife happy. First, let her think she's having her own way. And second, let her have it. ↗
