I used Jimmy to give me what I needed to keep going and to know that I was on the right path with it. I thought I saw Jimmy's soul all the time we worked. He never covered his soul and I never covered mine. We saw into each other's souls, very definitely. ↗

We really feel happier when things look bleak. Hope is endurance. Hope is holding on and going on and trusting in the Lord. ↗

To give birth is a fearsome thing; there is no hating the child one has borne even when injured by it. ↗

In most of history, societies have not been free. It's a very rare society that is free. The default condition of human societies is tyranny. ↗

Christianity is the root of all democracy, the highest fact in the rights of men. ↗
