In every child who is born, no matter what circumstances, and of no matter what parents, the potentiality of the human race is born again and in him, too, once more, and of each of us, our terrific responsibility toward human life toward the utmost idea of goodness, of the horror of terror, and of God.
A mother never realizes that her children are no longer children.
Truth lies within a little and certain compass, but error is immense.
You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough.
