What A Testing Of Character Adversity Is.

Every Failure Can Be Considered As A Tragedy Or A Chance To Learn Something. The Latter Is Healthier

He Who Knows No Hardships Will Know No Hardihood. He Who Faces No Calamity Will Need No Courage. Mysterious Though It Is, The Characteristics In Human Nature Which We Love Best Grow In A Soil With A Strong Mixture Of Troubles.

It Is Going To Be A Long, Hard Haul; It Will Require Patience, Courage, Faith That Hangs On When Hope Fails, If We Are To Tame The Rude Barbarity Of Man, So That The Atomic Age Becomes A Blessing, Not A Curse. There Never Was Such A Day For The Christian Gospel. God Help Us All In These Years Ahead To Make That Gospel Live In Men And Nations!

We Must Take The Abiding Spiritual Values Which Inhere In The Deep Experiences Of Religion In All Ages And Give Them New Expression In Terms Of The Framework Which Our New Knowledge Gives Us. Science Forces Religion To Deal With New Ideas In The Theoretical Realm And New Forces In The Practical Realm.

One Must Have The Adventurous Daring To Accept Oneself As A Bundle Of Possibilities And Undertake The Most Interesting Game In The World -- Making The Most Of One's Best.
