Why would we write if we’d already heard what we wanted to hear? — James Richardson

"Value yourself according to the burdens you carry, and you will find everything a burden."

"On what is valuable thieves and the law agree."

"If you do everything for one reason, then all you have done will become meaningless when the reason does."

"Reason is the lesser faith that steers us when we have already lost a greater one."

"Patience is not very different from courage. It just takes longer."

"The single sin is less of a problem than the good reasons for it."
