however long we have to live, there are never enough springs.
There appears to exist a greater desire to live long than to live well! Measure by man's desires, he cannot live long enough; measure by his good deeds, and he has not lived long enough; measure by his evil deeds, and he has lived too long.

Inside myself is a place where I live all alone and that is where I renew my springs that never dry up.
I have been disillusioned, however, this long, long time in the means used by any but the saints to live in this world God has made for us.
If you live long enough, you'll make mistakes. But if you learn from them, you'll be a better person. It's how you handle adversity, not how it affects you. The main thing is never quit, never quit, never quit.
