I was no longer the center of my life and therefore I could see God in everything.
Venerable Bede
The wise and the good never form the majority of any large society and it seldom happens that their measures are uniformity adopted…[All that wise and good men can do is] to persevere in doing their duty to their country and leave the consequences to him who made men only; neither elated by success, however great, nor discouraged by disappointments however frequent or mortifying.
John Jay
