  • In forgiving, people are not being asked to forget. On the contrary, it is important to remember, so that we should not let such atrocities happen again.

  • I am admonished in many ways that time is pushing me inexorably along. I am approaching the threshold of age; in 1977 I shall be 142. This is no time to be flitting about the earth.

  • This is the fairest picture on our planet, the most enchanting to look upon, the most satisfying to the eye and spirit.
