I did not feel proud of our country, seeing that we were bombing peasant villages, that we were not just hitting military targets, that children were being killed.

Every man should write a brief history of his life: his parentage, his birth, his religion, when he was baptized and by whom, when ordained, what to, and by whom-give a brief sketch of all his missions and of all his official acts and the dealings of God with him.
