• I do not have easy days at home now and I drift between fear and helplessness in sunny rooms where it is unspeakably cold.

• I know that there is one God in heaven, the Father of all humanity, and heaven is therefore one. I know that there is one sun in the sky, which gives light to all the world.

Wherever it is broken, wherever a shadow is cast upon the sunny rays of the sun of liberty, there is always danger of free principles everywhere in the world.

• If I describe a sunny morning in May (the buds, the wet-winged flies, the warm sun and cool breeze), I am also implying the perishing quality of a morning in May, and a good description of May sets up the possibility of a May disaster.

• If you get a drill and drill down 5km beneath the ground, it's teeming with life - millions of tiny living fossils.

• Thousands of stars in the night sky,
  And shells on the shore together,
  Hundreds of birds that go singing by,
  Especially in sunny weather.
  Millions of dewdrops to greet the dawn,
  Thousands of leaves in the fall,
  Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,
  But only one father, that's all.
  Happy Birthday
  To the One and Only

  John Walter Bratton
