Let judges secretly despair of justice: their verdicts will be more acute. Let generals secretly despair of triumph killing will be defamed. Let priests secretly despair of faith: their compassion will be true.

It is a great consolation for me to remember that the Lord to whom I had drawn near in humble and child-like faith has suffered and died for me and that He will look on me in love and compassion.

Blind faith no matter how passionately expressed will not suffice. Science for its part will test relentlessly every assumption about the human condition.

Faith is the highest passion in a human being. Many in every generation may not come that far but none comes further.

Some people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defect of faith but they are afflictions not sins. Like all afflictions they are if we can so take them our share in the passion of Christ.

I do not think white America is committed to granting equality to the American Negro. This is a passionately racist country it will continue to be so in the foreseeable future.

My mother was the influence in my life. She was strong she had great faith in the ultimate triumph of justice and hard work. She believed passionately in education.

I've got a very deep and abiding passion about education being far more than buildings and textbooks it's what children bring into school with them.
